The correct answer is 500 ml

Explanation:

  • Tidal volume (TV) is the volume of air moved into or out of the lungs during normal, quiet breathing.
  • Tidal Volume (TV) is the Volume of air inspired or expired during normal respiration. It is approx. 500 mL., i.e., a healthy man can inspire or expire approximately 6000 to 8000 mL of air per minute.

 Additional Information

  • Inspiratory capacity (IC)  - Total volume of air a person can inspire after a normal expiration. This includes tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume (TV+IRV).
  • Expiratory Capacity (EC): Total volume of air a person can expire after a normal inspiration. This includes tidal volume and expiratory reserve volume (TV+ERV).
  • Vital Capacity (VC) - The maximum volume of air a person can breathe in after a forced expiration. This includes ERV, TV and IRV
  • Residual Volume (RV) - Volume of air remaining in the lungs even after a forcible expiration. This averages 1100 mL to 1200 mL.
  • Functional Residual Capacity (FRC): Volume of air that will remain in the lungs after a normal expiration. This includes ERV+RV.
