STANDARD Zoology Lung Volumes and Capacities MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium
Arrange the following in the order of increasing volume (1) Tidal volume (2) Residual volume (3) Expiratory reserve volume (4) Vital capacity
A
1 < 2 < 3 < 4
B
1 < 3 < 2 < 4
C
1 < 4 < 3 < 2
D
1 < 4 < 2 < 3
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
Tidal volume is less than expiratory reserve volume, which is less than residual volume, and residual volume is less than vital capacity. The volumes are approximately: Tidal volume (500 mL), Expiratory reserve volume (1000-100 mL), Residual volume (1100-1200 mL), Vital capacity (3400-4800 mL).
