What is the total volume of air accommodated in the lungs after forced exhalation called?

What is the total volume of air accommodated in the lungs after forced exhalation called? Correct Answer Total lung capacity

The correct answer is Total Lung Capacity.

  • Total Lung Capacity is the total volume of air accommodated in the lungs at the end of forced inspiration.
  • The normal value of Total Lung Capacity is about 6,000mL.

Key Points

  • It is calculated by the addition of the four primary lung volumes i.e., TV, IRV, ERV, RV.
  • Vital Capacity is the maximum volume of air a person can breathe in after forced expiration.
  • Functional Residual Capacity is the volume of air that remains in the lungs after a normal expiration.
  • The total volume of air a person can inspire after a normal expiration is termed as Inspiratory Capacity.
