Term
tidal volum def (TV)
Definition
amount of air echanged with each breath, during NORMAL breathing
Term
normal value (mL) for tidal vol.
Definition
500
Term
inspiratory reserve vol. def(IRV)
Definition
amount of air forcefully inspired after tidal respiration
Term
inspiratory reserve vol.normal value (mL)
Definition
1900-3100
Term
expiratory reserve vol. def (ERV)
Definition
vol of air forecfully expired after tidal respiration
Term
expiratory reserve vol.normal value (mL)
Definition
700-1200
Term
residual volume (RV) def
Definition
amount of air in lungs after maximal expansion

*can't be measured with a spirometer
Term
residual volume normal value (mL)
Definition
1100-1200
Term
inspiratory capacity (IC) def
Definition
amount of a person can maximally inspire after tidal EXPIRATION

(how much you can inhale after you breathed out to the max)
Term
inspiratory capacity formula
Definition
TV + IRV
Term
inspiratory capacity normal value (mL)
Definition
2400-3600
Term
functional residual capacity (FRC) def
Definition
amount of air left in lungs after tidal expiration
Term
functional residual capacity formula
Definition
ER+ RV
Term
functional residual capacity normal value (mL)
Definition
1800-2400
Term
vital capacity formula
Definition
TV+ IRV +ERV
Term
vital capacity def (VC)
Definition
total amount of exchangeable air that moves in & out of lungs
Term
vital capacity normal value (mL)
Definition
3100-4800
Term
total lung capacity (TLC) def
Definition
total amount of exchageable & NONexchangeable air in lungs.

*not measured with general spirometry
Term
total lung capacity (TLC) formula
Definition
TV+ IRV +ERV + RV
Term
total lung capacity (TLC)normal value (mL)
Definition
4200-6000
Term
Calc: VC (vital capacity)
Given:
TV=500 ml
ERV=300 ml
IRV= 1900 ml

Are these values normal?
or restrictive/obstructive diseases pattern?
Definition
TV:yes
ERV: low,
=less air being expelled
IRV= yes

VC= TV+ ERV+IRV

500 +300 +1900= 2700
which is a low VC

b/c ERV is low=less air expelled=
lungs lost elasity=restrictive disease
