1
New cards

Tidal volume (TV)

Volume of air moved in or out of the lungs during a respiratory cycle

2
New cards

Inspiratory reserve
volume (lRV)

Maximum volume of air that can be inhaled at the end of a resting inspiration

3
New cards

Expiratory reserve volume
(ERV)

Maximum volume of air that can be exhaled at the end of a resting expiration

4
New cards

Residual volume (RV)

Volume of air that remains in the lungs even after a maximal expiratory effort

5
New cards

Vital capacity (VC)

Maximum volume of air that can be exhaled after taking the deepest breath
possible: VC = TV + IRV + ERV

6
New cards

Inspiratory capacity (IC)

Maximum volume of air that can be inhaled following exhalation of resting
tidal volume: IC = TV + lRV

7
New cards

Functional residual
capacity (FRC)

Volume of air that remains in the lungs following exhalation of resting tidal
volume: FRC = ERV + RV

8
New cards

Total lung capacity (TLC)

Total volume of air that the lungs can hold: TLC = VC + RV
