The correct formula for solving this question is: VC = IRV + ERV + TV, where VC is vital capacity, IRV is inspiratory reserve volume, ERV is expiratory reserve volume and TV is tidal volume. From the given information, TV =500, ERV =1200 and the standard IRV for male is 3100ml, therefore,
VC= 3100 + 1200 + 500 = 4800ml.

Breathing involves the movement of diaphragm and Rib cage true or false

Elza [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

It's a true statement as,

When we inhale the diaphragm moves downwards and the rib cage moves upwards and outwards to let enter the outside air containing oxygen come in.
While we exhale the diaphragm comes to its position and the rib cage move downwards and inwards to let out the inside carbon-dioxide and other games out.

Hence, we can conclude that breathing involves the movement of diaphragm and Rib cage.
