Vital capacity is the sum of these volumes:
|

IRV
|
|
|
ERV
|
|
|
TV
|
|
|
RV
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It is calculated by summing tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, and expiratory reserve volume. VC = TV+IRV+ERV.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tidal volume is essentially every breath a person takes. It is one of the main determinants of minute ventilation and alveolar ventilation. Minute ventilation, also known as total ventilation, is a measurement of the amount of air that enters the lungs per minute. It is the product of respiratory rate and tidal volume.
Detailed explanation-3: -i.e., total lung capacity is the sum of residual volume and vital capacity.
