Question
The vital capacity of human being is about
1200 mL
4800 mL
2400 mL
3600 mL
Solution
B.
4800 mL
Vital Capacity is defined as the sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume and expiratory reserve volume, that is, 3100 + 500 + 1200 = 4800. Therefore, 4800 mL is the vital capacity in humans.
