Q

The 6 lung volumes

A
  • tidal volume -the amount of air that moves into or out of the lungs in a normal breath
  • functional residual capacity-the volume of air remaining in the lungs at the end of a normal expiration
  • inspiratory reserve volume -the amount of air that can be forcefully inhaled after a normal inspiration
  • expiratory reserve volume-the amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal expiration
  • residual volume-the volume of the air remaining in the lungs after a maximum expiration
  • vital capacity -the maximum amount of air that can be moved in and out of the respiratory system in a single cycle
