How many of the above statements are true?, One, Two, Three, Four

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Vital Capacity (VC) is the maximum volume of air a person can breathe in after a forced expiration. This includes ERV, TV and IRV or the maximum volume of air a person can breathe out after a forced inspiration.In the alveoli, where there is high pO 2 , low pCO 2 , lesser H + concentration and lower temperature, the factors are all favourable for the formation of oxyhaemoglobin, whereas in the tissues, where low pO 2 , high pCO 2 , high H + concentration and higher temperature exist, the conditions are favourable for dissociation of oxygen from the oxyhaemoglobin.
