A
volume inspired or expired with each breath at rest
2
Q
inspiratory reserve volume
A
maximum volume of air that can be inspired at the end of a normal tidal inspiration.

A
maximum volume of air that can be expired at the end of a normal tidal expiration

Q
residual volume
A
volume of air remaining after maximal expiration
