Detailed explanation-1: -It is the total amount of air exhaled after maximal inhalation. The value is about 4800mL and it varies according to age and body size. It is calculated by summing tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, and expiratory reserve volume. VC = TV+IRV+ERV.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vital capacity (VC) refers to the maximal volume of air that can be expired following maximum inspiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vital capacity is the maximum volume of air that can be released from the lungs by forceful expiration after maximum inspiration. Vital capacity can be considered as an indicator of normal and healthy respiratory capacity and the strength of the muscles in the thoracic cavity.
Detailed explanation-4: -Some examples of spirometry measurements are: Forced vital capacity: the maximum amount of air you can forcibly exhale from your lungs after fully inhaling. It is about 80 percent of total capacity, or 4.8 liters, because some air remains in your lungs after you exhale.
Detailed explanation-5: -The correct option is B Total lung capacity minus residual volume. Vital capacity is the maximum volume of air a person can inspire after a forced expiration or the maximum volume of air a person can breathe out after a forced inspiration.
