What is the tidal volume?
Description
Volume of air entering or leaving lungs during a singe breath
What is the inspiratory reserve volume?
Description
Extra volume of air that can be maximally inspired over and above the typical resting tidal volume
What is the inspiratory capacity?
Description
Maximum volume of air that can be inspired at the end of a normal quiet expiration
Tidal volume plus inspiratory reserve volume
