lung volumes

Physiology A group of air 'compartments' into which the lung may be functionally divided

Lung volumes

Expiratory reserve capacity–ERV The maximum volume of air that can be voluntarily exhaled

Functional residual capacity (FRV) Volume left in the lungs at the end of a normal breath which is not normally part of the subdivisions

Inspiratory capacity–IC The maximum volume that can be inhaled

Inspiratory Reserve capacity–IRC The maximum volume that can be inhaled above the tidal volume

Tidal volume–V_T The normal to-and-fro respiratory exchange of 500 cc; vital capacity is the maximum amount of exhalable air; after a full inspiration, which added to the residual volume, is the total lung capacity

Total lung capacity–TLC The entire volume of the lung, circa 5 liters

Vital capacity–VC The maximum volume that can be inhaled and exhaled
