the volume of air inspired or expired
with each breath. At rest, quiet breathing results in a tidal volume
tidal volume
the amount of air that can be inspired forcefully beyond the resting tidal volume
inspiratory reserve volume
the amount of air that can be expired forcefully beyond the resting tidal volume
expiratory reserve volume
the volume of air still remaining in the
respiratory passages and lungs after maximum expiration
residual volume
the expiratory reserve volume plus the residual volume. This is the amount of air
remaining in the lungs at the end of a normal expiration .
functional residual capacity
the tidal volume plus the inspiratory reserve volume. This is the amount of air a person can inspire maximally after a normal expiration
inspiratory capacity
the sum of the inspiratory reserve volume, the tidal volume, and the expiratory reserve volume. It is the maximum volume of air that a person can expel from the respiratory tract after a maximum inspiration
vital capacity
the sum of the inspiratory and expiratory reserves and the tidal and residual volumes
-also equal to the vital capacity plus the residual volume.
total lung capacity
