Q

What is Inspiratory Capacity

A

The Total Volume of air that we can forcefully inhale
IC = TV + IRV = 500 + 2500-3000 = 3000-3500ml

22
Q

What is Expiratory Capacity

A

The total volume of air that we can Forcefully exhale
EC = TV + ERV = 500 + 1000-1100 = 1500 - 1600ml

23
Q

What is Vital Capacity

A

total Volume of air that we can forcefully inhale after forceful Expiration.
VC = TV + IRV + ERV = 4000-4600 ml
