Tidal volume (TV)
Amount of air inhaled during a normal breath
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
Amount of air that can be exhaled after a normal exhalation
Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
Amount of air that can be further inhaled after a normal inhalation
Residual volume (RV)
Air left in the lungs after a forced exhalation
Vital capacity (VC)
Maximum amount of air that can be moved in or out of the lungs in a single respiratory cycle
Inspiratory capacity (IC)
Volume of air that can be inhaled in addition to a normal exhalation
Functional residual capacity (FRC)
Volume of air remaining after a normal exhalation
Total lung capacity (TLC)
Total volume of air in the lungs after a maximal inspiration
Forced expiratory volume (FEV1)
How much air can be forced out of the lungs over a specific time period, usually one second
Vital capacity (VC) equation
ERV+TV+IRV
Total lung capacity (TLC) equation
RV+ERV+TV+IRV
