Cardiopulmonary

Lung volumes and capacities

TermDefinition
Anatomic dead space volume (AD) The volume of air that occupies the non-respiratory conducting airways
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) The volume of air that can be exhaled after a normal tidal exhalation. 15% of total lung volume
Forced expiratory volume (FEV) Volume of air exhaled in a specified period of time: usually the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd second of a forced vital capacity maneuver
Forced vital capacity (FVC) Volume of air expired from a forced maximal exhalation after a forced maximal inhalation
Functional residual capacity (FRC) Volume of air in the lungs after a normal exhalation. FRC = ERV + RV. About 40% of total lung volume
Inspiratory capacity (IC) Volume of air that can be inspired after a normal tidal exhalation. IC = TV + IRV. About 60% of total lung volume.
Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) Volume of air that can be inspired after a normal tidal inspiration. 50% of total lung volume
Minute volume ventilation (VE) Volume of air expired in one minute. VE = TV x respiratory rate
Peak expiratory flow (PEF) Max flow of air during the beginning of a forced maximal expiration
Residual volume (RV) Volume of gas in the lungs after a maximal expiration. 25% of total lung volume
Tidal volume (TV) Total volume inspired and expired w/ each breath during quiet breathing. 10% of total lung volume.
Total lung capacity (TLC) Volume of air in the lungs after a maximal inspiration; sum of all lung volumes. TLC = RV + VC or TLC = FRC + IC
Vital capacity (VC) Volume change that occurs between maximal inspiration and maximal expiration. VC = TV + IRV + ERV. 75% of total lung volume.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
