Match List I with List II :
| List I | List II | ||
| A | Expiratory capacity | I | Expiratory reserve volume + Tidal volume + Inspiratory reserve volume |
| B | Functional residual capacity | II | Tidal volume + Expiratory reserve volume |
| C | Vital capacity | III | Tidal volume + Inspiratory reserve volume |
| D | Inspiratory capacity | IV | Expiratory reserve volume + Residual volume |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Correct Answer :
A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
Solution :
The correct answer is A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III.
To determine the correct matching, let us define each of the pulmonary capacities based on respiratory volumes:
A. Expiratory Capacity (EC) matches with II (Tidal volume + Expiratory reserve volume):
Expiratory capacity is the total volume of air a person can expire after a normal inspiration. It is the sum of Tidal Volume (TV) and Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV).
B. Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) matches with IV (Expiratory reserve volume + Residual volume):
Functional residual capacity is the volume of air that remains in the lungs after a normal expiration. It is the sum of Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) and Residual Volume (RV).
C. Vital Capacity (VC) matches with I (Expiratory reserve volume + Tidal volume + Inspiratory reserve volume):
Vital capacity is the maximum volume of air a person can breathe out after a forced inspiration. It is the sum of Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV), Tidal Volume (TV), and Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV).
D. Inspiratory Capacity (IC) matches with III (Tidal volume + Inspiratory reserve volume):
Inspiratory capacity is the total volume of air a person can inspire after a normal expiration. It is the sum of Tidal Volume (TV) and Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV).
Matching these definitions, we find:
A - II
B - IV
C - I
D - III
