A) Total lung capacity (TLC) only
B) Functional residual capacity (FRC) and total lung capacity (TLC)
C) Vital capacity (VC) and total lung capacity (TLC)
D) Vital capacity (VC) only
E) Functional residual capacity (FRC) only
Functional Residual Capacity
The volume of air remaining in the lungs after a normal, passive exhalation, which is crucial for continuous gas exchange in the lungs.
Residual Volume
The volume of air remaining in the lungs after a forceful exhalation, ensuring that the lungs do not collapse.
Total Lung Capacity
