1
New cards

Tidal Volume (TV)

amount of air that enters lungs in a single inhalation or leaves lungs in a single exhalation of quiet breathing; in an adult this is normally 500 mL

2
New cards

Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)

amount of air that can be forcibly inhaled after normal inspiration; also called complemental air; generally measures around 3000 mL

3
New cards

Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)

amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after normal, quiet exhalation; also called supplemental air; approximately 1000 mL

4
New cards

Residual Volume (RV)

air remaining in lungs after forced exhalation; about 1500 mL in an adult

5
New cards

Inspiratory Capacity (IC)

volume of air inhaled after normal exhale

6
New cards

functional residual capacity (FRC)

air that remains in lungs after normal exhalation has taken place

7
New cards

Vital Capacity (VC)

total volume of air that can be exhaled after maximum inhalation; amount will be equal to sum of TV, IRV, and ERV

8
New cards

Total lung capacity (TLC)

volume of air in lungs after maximal inhalation
