tidal volume Tidal volume is the amount of air inhaled or exhaled during a normal breath. It typically ranges from 500ml to 700ml in adults. Factors such as age, sex, body size, and physical activity level can affect tidal volume.
vital capacity Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air a person can exhale after a maximal inhalation. It is an important measurement in pulmonary function tests and can be affected by various respiratory conditions, such as asthma, COPD, and pulmonary fibrosis.
inspiratory capacity Inspiratory capacity (IC) is the maximum volume of air that can be inhaled after a normal exhalation. It is the sum of tidal volume (TV) and inspiratory reserve volume (IRV). IC = TV + IRV
inspiratory reserve volume The inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) is the maximum amount of additional air that can be inhaled after a normal, quiet breath. It represents the lung's capacity to take in extra air beyond a regular inhalation.
