Vital Capacity
The greatest volume of air in your lungs after a forced maximal inspiration
Residual Volume
The volume of air that remains in your lungs after a forced maximal expiration
Total Lung Capacity
The amount of air in the lungs following a maxim inspiration and is calculated by adding the vital capacity of the lungs to the residual volume
Tidal Volume
The amount of air that is inspiration and expired with each normal breath during rest or any given exercise
Inspiratory Reserve Volume
The amount of air that can be inspired during a forced inspiration, following a normal inspiration
Expiration Reserve Volume
The amount of air that can be expired during a forced expiration, following a normal expiration
