Listed below are four respiratory capacities (i-iv) and four jumbled respiratory volumes of a normal human adult:  

 
  Respiratory capacities           Respiratory volumes
(i) Residual volume      (a) 2500 mL
(ii) Vital capacity            (b) 3500 mL
(iii) Inspiratory reserve volume      (c) 1200 mL
(iv) Inspiratory capacity                  (d) 4500 mL

Which one of the following pairs of capacities and volumes is matched correctly with each other?
MEDIUM

b) Partial pressure of oxygen in alveoli is higher than in the tissue.

c) The maximum volume of air a person can breathe in after a forced expiration is vital capacity.

d) In alveoli, low pCO2 and high pO2 favour dissociation of CO2 from carbaminohaemoglobin.
