Vedclass · Answer

(A) The Total Lung Capacity $(TLC)$ is defined as the total volume of air accommodated in the lungs at the end of a forced inspiration.This includes the Vital Capacity $(VC)$ and the Residual Volume $(RV)$.Mathematically, $TLC = VC + RV$ (or $IRV + TV + ERV + RV$).For an average healthy human adult, the total lung capacity is approximately $5800 \, ml$ to $6000 \, ml$ $(5.8 - 6.0 \, liters)$.Therefore, the correct option is $A$.

List-$I$ (Respiratory Volume)	List-$II$ (Capacity in mL)
$A$. $ERV$ (Expiratory Reserve Volume)	$I$. $2500-3000 \text{ mL}$
$B$. $RV$ (Residual Volume)	$II$. $500 \text{ mL}$
$C$. $IRV$ (Inspiratory Reserve Volume)	$III$. $1000-1100 \text{ mL}$
$D$. $TV$ (Tidal Volume)	$IV$. $1100-1200 \text{ mL}$

What is the total lung capacity of a healthy human adult (in $ ml$)?
