Assess the statements concerning Vital Capacity and Total Lung Capacity.
a. Vital Capacity (VC) is the maximum volume of air a person can breathe in after a forced expiration.
b. VC includes ERV, TV, and IRV.
c. VC is the maximum volume of air a person can breathe out after a forced inspiration.
d. Total Lung Capacity (TLC) is the total volume of air accommodated in the lungs at the end of a forced inspiration.
e. TLC includes RV, ERV, TV, and IRV.
f. TLC can be expressed as Vital Capacity + Inspiratory Reserve Volume (VC + IRV).
g. A spirometer is used to estimate the volume of air involved in breathing movements.
