Spirogram Use the figure below to answer questions 19–24. For questions 23–24, select all that apply.   Image Description Test A spirogram showing lung volume (mL) over time, with labeled points indicating different ranges of respiratory activity. Point A shows the range of normal oscillation, from approximately 2200 mL to 2700 mL. Point B represents the range of the larger peaks, spanning from 2700 mL to 5700 mL. Point C highlights the difference from null to the lowest peak, ranging from 0 to 1200 mL. Point D covers the dip from normal oscilation down to the lowest dip, spanning from 1200 mL to 2200 mL. Point E shows the full range from the highest peak to the lowest dip, spanning from 1200 mL to 5700 mL. The graph displays periodic rises, falls, and oscillations.
