A person has the following lung volumes: TV = 500 mL, TLC = 6000 mL, RV = 1200 mL, IC = 3800. From this information, calculate ERV.
a - 1000mL
b - 2200mL
c - 500mL
d - 1500 mL
1000mL
Total Lung Capacity (TLC) is the sum of all four lung volumes:
TLC=TV+IRV+ERV+RV
We can rearrange this formula to find ERV:
ERV=TLC−TV−IRV−RV
ERV=6000mL−500mL−3300mL−1200mL=1000
ERV=1000mL
