New cards

Tidal Volume (TV)

The amount of air inhaled and exhaled during one normal breath. Highly dependent on height. AVG: 500 mL

2
New cards

Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)

Maximum amount of air that can be inhaled AFTER a normal inhalation

3
New cards

Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)

Maximum amount on air that can be exhaled AFTER a normal exhalation

4
New cards

Residual Volume (RV)

Amount of air that remains in the lungs after a maximal exhalation

5
New cards

Inspiratory Capacity (IC)

Maximum amount of air that can be moved into the lungs. IC = TV + IRV

6
New cards

Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)

Volume of air present in lungs following passive expiration. FRC = RV + ERV

7
New cards

Vital Capacity (VC)

Maximum volume of air expelled after a maximal inhalation.

VC = IRV + TV + ERV

8
New cards

Total Lung Capacity (TLC)

Maximum volume that the lungs can contain. TLC = IRV + TV +ERV +RV
