Document Summary

4 basic lung volumes: tidal volume: the volume of air entering or the lungs during one breath at rest (500ml, inspiratory reserve volume: the maximum of air that can enter the lungs in addition to the volume (2500ml) leaving amount tidal, expiratory reserve volume: the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled beyond the tidal( 1000ml, residual volume: remaining air in the lungs after max expiration (1200 ml) 4 basic lung capacities: inspiratory capacity: the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled after exhaling the tidal volume (tidal + inspiratory, functional residual capacity: the amount of air still in the lungs after exhalation of the tidal volume (expiratory reserve volume + residual volume), vital capacity: the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a maximal inhalation (inspiratory reserve + tidal + expiratory reserve, total lung capacity: the maximum amount of air that lungs can hold (all added together, vital capacity + residual volume)
