New cards

Tidal volume (TV)

air moved during one normal relaxed breath

2
New cards

Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)

extra air forcefully inhaled after normal inhalation

3
New cards

Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)

extra air forcefully exhaled after normal exhalation

4
New cards

Residual volume (RV)

air left after forced exhalation

5
New cards

Inspiratory capacity (IC)

volume inhaled after normal exhalation

6
New cards

Functional residual capacity (FRC)

air left after normal exhalation

7
New cards

Vital capacity (VC)

air exhaled after maximum inhalation and equals TV + IRV + ERV
