Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vital capacity is the total amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after a maximum inhalation, which includes the tidal volume (the volume of air inhaled and exhaled during a normal breath), the expiratory reserve volume (the additional amount of air that can be exhaled after a normal exhalation), and the inspiratory reserve volume (the additional amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal inhalation).
