The amount of air exchanges during normal respiration is vital capacity.
A. True
B. False

Asked by MelissaVargas2763247

Answer (2)

The statement is false because vital capacity refers to the maximum volume of air that can be exhaled after maximal inhalation, while normal respiration involves the tidal volume, which is the amount of air exchanged during relaxed breathing. Vital capacity is typically larger than tidal volume. Understanding these distinctions is essential for studying respiratory function.
