|
Tidal Volume (TV) |
Volume of air exchanged in one cycle of respiration. |
|
|
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) |
Volume of air that can be inhaled after a tidal inspiration. |
|
|
Expiratiory Reserve Volume (ERV) |
Volume of air that can be expired following passive, tidal expiration. (aka Resting Lung Volume). |
|
|
Residual Volume (RV) |
Volume of air remaining in the lungs after a maximum exhalation. |
|
|
Vital Capacity (VC) |
The volume of air that can be inhaled following maximal exhalation.
(VC= IRV+TV+ERV) |
|
|
Functional Residual Capacity |
The volume of air in the body at the end of passive exhalation
(FRC= ERV+RV) |
|
|
Total Lung Capacity (TLC) |
(TLC= IRV + TV+ ERV+RV) |
|
|
Inspiratory Capacity (IC) |
