Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

• The volume of air involved in breathing movements can be estimated by using a spirometer which helps in clinical assessment of pulmonary functions.

• The volume of air remaining in the lungs even after a forced expiration is called the residual volume.

• The residual volume cannot be measured using the spirometer because it is impossible to completely breathe out.
