end of quiet expiration where lungs contain 2200 ml of air
function residual capacity (FRC)
during normal expiration and inspiration how much air is expired and inspired?
500 ml
is 3000 ml of air and requires maximum contraction of the respiratory muscles
inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
maximum volume of inspired air
equation?
inspiratory capacity
IRV + TV= 3000 + 500= 3500 mL
maximum volume of air that the lungs can hold = 5700 ml
total lung capacity (TLC)
extra volume actively expired: maximum contraction of expiratory muscles; 1000 ml
expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
maximum volume of air that can be moved out during a single breath after maximum inspiration (total amount of exchangeable air); 4500 ml
equation?
vital capacity
VC= TV+ IRV+ ERV
