The Total Lung Capacity (TLC) is the total volume of air accommodated in the lungs at the end of forced inspiration.
This includes:
1. | RV; IC (Inspiratory Capacity); EC (Expiratory Capacity); and ERV |
2. | RV; ERV; IC and EC |
3. | RV; ERV; VC (Vital Capacity) and FRC (Functional Residual Capacity) |

Choose the incorrect statement
1. Every 100 ml of deoxygenated blood delivers approximately 4 ml of CO2 to the alveoli
2. Carbonic anhydrase is present in very high concentration in RBC
3. High pCO2 and low pO2 in tissues help in binding of carbon dioxide
4. CO2 is carried in haemoglobin as carboxyhaemoglobin
