If the Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) of a person is 1000 mL, and the Residual Volume (RV) is 1200 mL, what is their Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)?

A

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) is the volume of air that remains in the lungs after a normal expiration and is calculated by adding the Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) to the Residual Volume (RV). Therefore, FRC = ERV + RV = 1000 mL + 1200 mL = 2200 mL.
