| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The volume of gas inspired or expired in a single respiratory cycle: | tidal volume |
| The maximum amount of gas that can be inspired after a normal inhalation. | inspiratory reserve volume |
| The maximum amount of gas that can expired after a normal exhalation. | expiratory reserve volume |
| Try as you might, air will still remain in the lungs after maximum expiration. This volume is: | residual volume |
| The sum of all these spaces (TV, IRV, ERV, RV) is your: | total lung capacity |
| At the end of normal expiration your lungs are at their: | functional residual capacity |
| The amount of air that can be inspired starting from your FRC is your: | inspiratory capacity |
