Listed below are four respiratory capacities (i-iv) and four jumbled respiratory volumes of a normal human adult. Which one of the following is the correct matching of two capacities and volumes?
Correct answer: C. (iv) 3500 mL, (i) 1200 mL
- A. (ii) 2500 mL, (iii) 4500 mL
- B. (iii) 1200 mL, (iv) 2500 mL
- C. (iv) 3500 mL, (i) 1200 mL
- D. (i) 4500 mL, (ii) 3500 mL
Explanation
All options are explained below: a)(ii) 2500 mL, (iii) 4500 mL:This option pairs capacity (ii) with 2500 mL and capacity (iii) with 4500 mL. This is an incorrect match. It doesn't align with the jumbled respiratory volumes provided in the question. B. (iii) 1200 mL, (iv) 2500 mL: This option pairs capacity (iii) with 1200 mL and capacity (iv) with 2500 mL. It also accurately pairs the capacities with their respective volumes. C. (iv) 3500 mL, (i) 1200 mL (Correct Option):This option pairs capacity (iv) with 3500 mL and capacity (i) with 1200 mL. If this is the correct option, it means that capacity (i) has a volume of 1200 mL, and capacity (iv) has a volume of 3500 mL, as per the question. D. (i) 4500 mL, (ii) 3500 mL:This option pairs capacity (i) with 4500 mL and capacity (ii) with 3500 mL. This is an incorrect match and doesn't align with the jumbled respiratory volumes provided in the question. Summary: The correct match is option C, which pairs capacity (iv) with 3500 mL and capacity (i) with 1200 mL, as indicated by the jumbled respiratory volumes provided in the question. The other options provide incorrect pairings of respiratory volumes with capacities.

About Respiration
The human respiratory system includes the air passages, lungs, alveoli and breathing muscles, while gaseous exchange explains how oxygen enters blood and carbon dioxide leaves it by diffusion. The effects of smoking include damage to cilia and alveoli, reduced gas exchange, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and increased risk of lung cancer.
