Total lung capacity volume
6000ml
Tidal Volume
500 ml
Inspiratory reserve volume
3000 ml
Functional residual capacity
2500 ml
Inspiratory capacity
3500 ml
Expiratory reserve volume
1000 ml
Residual volume
1500 ml
Vital capacity
4500 ml
The amount of air inhaled or exhaled on a normal breath during normal, quite respiration
Tidal Volume
The additional air that can be forcefully inhaled past a normal tidal volume inspiration
Inspiratory reserve volume
The additional air that can be forcefully exhaled past a normal tidal volume expiration
the maximal amount of air which can be forcefully expired following normal expiration
Expiratory reserve volume
The volume of air remaining in lungs following a maximal exhalation
the maximal amount of air which remains trapped in lungs after a maximal expiratory effect
Residual volume
The total amount of air that can be forcefully expired after maximum inhalation
The maximum amount of air that can be forcefully expired after a maximal inspiration
Vital Capacity
Vital capacity equation
Vital capacity = Tidal volume + Inspiratory reserve volume + Expiratory reserve volume
The max amount of air that can be inspired after a normal expiration
The maximal amount of air which can be inspired after a normal expiration
Inspiratory capacity
Inspiratory capacity equation
Inspiratory capacity = Tidal volume + Inspiratory reserve volume
The total amount of air remaining in the lungs after a normal exhalation
The amount of air remaining in the lungs after a normal expiration
Functional residual capacity
Functional residual capacity equation
Functional residual capacity = Residual volume + expiratory reserve volume
The total amount of air the lungs can contain
Total lung capacity
Total lung capacity equation
Total lung capacity = Tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume + expiratory reserve volume + residual volume
Medical test used to measure the 4 lung volumes
Pulmonary test evaluates change in respiratory function
Spirometry
effect lungs expandability
Restrictive diseases
Lungs hyper inflate due to increase in airway restriction
Obstructive disease
Spirometry uses a simple, non-invasive instrument called
spirometer
