5B: Lung Volumes Flashcards
What is the resting level for TLC?
The point of expiration at rest
What is the value of resting expiration?
Normally 40% of TLC
What is IRV?
Inspiratory reserve volume - additional inspiration volume after tidal volume inspiration
What is the value of IRV?
50% of TLC
What is ERV?
Expiratory reserve volume - additional expiration volume after tidal volume expiration
What is the value of ERV?
15% TLC
What is RV?
Residual volume - air that cannot be expelled from lungs
What is the value of RV?
25% TLC
What is IC?
Inspiratory capacity - amount of air that can be inspired after tidal volume expiration
What is the value of IC?
60% TLC
What is VC?
Vital capacity - maximum amount of air that can be moved in and out of the lungs
What is the value of VC?
3500-4500 ml
What is TLC?
Total lung capacity - sum of VC + residual volume
What is the value of TLC?
5-6 L
What is TV?
Tidal volume - air moved during breathing at rest
