how much is the vital capacity of humans . do people living on mountains have the same , less or more vital capacity as those living in the plains?

Hi Ameen,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Vital capacity is the maximum volume of air that can be exhaled after a maximum inspiration. It is about 3.5 – 4.5 litres in the human body. It promotes the act of supplying fresh air and getting rid of foul air, thereby increasing the gaseous exchange between the tissues and the environment. People living on mountains have higher vital capacity than people living in the plains.
