Question
State the volume of air remaining in the lungs after a normal breathing.
Advertisements
Solution
The amount of air that remains in the lungs after normal exhalation is called structural composition. This exhalation is like the combination of celestial air and flowing air. Its normal quantity is 2300 ml.
FRC = ERV + RV
= 1100 + 1200 ml
= 2300 ml.

From the following relationships between respiratory volume and capacities and mark the correct answer.
- Inspiratory capacity (IC) = Tidal Volume + Residual Volume
- Vital Capacity (VC) = Tidal Volume (TV) + Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) + Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV).
- Residual Volume (RV) = Vital Capacity (VC) – Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
