Tidal volume and expiratory reserve volume of an athlete is 500 mL and 1000 mL respectively. What will be his expiratory capacity if the residual volume is 1200 mL [2019]
(2)
Expiratory capacity is the total volume of air a person can expire after normal inspiration. It includes tidal volume (TV) and expiratory reserve volume (ERV).
EC = TV + ERV = 500 mL + 1000 mL = 1500 mL
