-In Figure 16.1, how many mL is the inspiratory capacity?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inspiratory capacity is the sum of the tidal volume (the amount of air inhaled or exhaled during normal breathing) and the inspiratory reserve volume (the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal inhalation). Without seeing Figure 16.1, the correct answer cannot be determined from the question alone. However, typically, inspiratory capacity in adults ranges around 2400 to 3600 mL, making 2800 mL a plausible value within this range.
