Lung ventilation in a person is increased as a result of physical activity. Which of the following indices of the external respiration is much higher than in a state of rest?
- A. Inspiratory reserve volume
- B. Respiratory volume
- C. Expiratory reserve volume
- D. Total lung capacity
- E. Vital capacity of lungs
Hint
Separate indices that reflect a breath-by-breath pattern from those that reflect the maximal capacity of the lungs, and ask which one has to change when ventilation rises.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
