How to label and calculate • Expiratory reserve volume Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) — Extra air forcefully exhaled after a normal exhalation. Formula: ERV = FRC − RV.
How to label and calculate Inspiratory reserve volume Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) — Extra air inhaled after a normal breath. Formula: IRV = IC − TV.
How to label and calculate Residual volume Residual Volume (RV) — Air left in lungs after maximum exhalation. Located at the bottom of the lung volume graph. Formula: RV = TLC − VC.
How to label and calculate Functional residual capacity Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) — Air remaining after a normal exhalation. Formula: FRC = ERV + RV. Copy flashcard
How to label and calculate Tidal volume Tidal Volume (TV) — Air inhaled or exhaled during normal breathing. Formula: TV = IC − IRV. Typical resting adult value: about 500 mL.
How to label and calculate Total lung capacity TLC = Total = add all four lung volumes together.
