Question

select the volumes that are parts of the vital capacity. adding these all together will equal the vital capacity.
check all that apply
expiratory reserve volume
tidal volume
inspiratory reserve volume
residual volume
inspiratory capacity

Explanation:

Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after a maximum inhalation. It is calculated as the sum of the inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and expiratory reserve volume. The residual volume is not part of the vital capacity as it is the air that remains in the lungs after maximum exhalation. Inspiratory capacity is the sum of tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume, so it is not a separate component when considering the sum for vital capacity (since vital capacity is inspiratory reserve volume + tidal volume + expiratory reserve volume).

Answer:

expiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume
