A person with a tidal volume of 450 mL (milliliters), a vital capacity of 4000 mL, and a residual volume of 1000 mL would have a potential total lung capacity of ________.
A) 1450 mL
B) 4000 mL
C) 4450 mL
D) 5000 mL

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total lung capacity is the sum of the vital capacity and the residual volume, so the potential total lung capacity would be:
4000 mL (vital capacity) + 1000 mL (residual volume) = 5000 mL.
