1
New cards

tidal volume (TV)

amount of air inhaled or exhaled with each breath under regular resting conditions, around 500 mL or 0.5 L

2
New cards

inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)

amount of air that can be forcefully inhaled after a normal tidal volume inspiration

3
New cards

expiratory reserve volume (ERV)

amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal volume expiration

4
New cards

residual volume (RV)

amount of air remaining in the lungs after a forced expiration

5
New cards

total lung capacity

maximum amount of air contained in lungs after a maximum inspiratory effort: TLC = TV + IRV + ERV + RV

6
New cards

vital capacity

maximum amount of air that can be expired after a maximum inspiratory effort

7
New cards

inspiratory capacity

max amount of air that can be inspired after a normal tidal volume expiration

8
New cards

functional residual capacity

volume of air remaining in the lungs after a normal tidal volume expiration
