Listed below are four respiratory capacities (i - iv) and four jumbled respiratory volumes of a normal human adult:
$
\begin{array}{lc}
\text{Respiratory capacities} & \text{Respiratory volumes} \\
\text{(i) Residual volume} & 2500 \text{ mL} \\
\text{(ii) Vital capacity} & 3500 \text{ mL} \\
\text{(iii) Inspiratory reserve volume} & 1200 \text{ mL} \\
\text{(iv) Inspiratory capacity} & 4500 \text{ mL}
\end{array}
$
Which one of the following is the correct matching of two capacities and volumes?
(ii) 2500 mL, (iii) 4500 mL
(iii) 1200 mL, (iv) 2500 mL
(iv) 3500 mL, (i) 1200 mL
(i) 4500 mL, (ii) 3500 mL
Solution
Following are the correct values of the given respiratory volumes:
$\begin{aligned}
\text{Respiratory capacities} & \text{Respiratory volumes} \\
\text{(i) Residual volume} & 1200 \text{ mL} \\
\text{(ii) Vital capacity} & 4500 \text{ mL} \\
\text{(iii) Inspiratory reserve volume} & 2500 \text{ mL} \\
\text{(iv) Inspiratory capacity} & 3500 \text{ mL}
\end{aligned}$
