How much do you know about lung volumes and capacities?

• Tidal volume is the amount of air moved during quiet breathing (500ml)
• Inspiratory reserve volume is the air inspired with maximal effort (3000ml)
• Expiratory reserve volume is the maximum volume of air that can be forcefully expired (1100ml)
• Residual volume is the volume of air remaining in the lungs after forceful expiration (1200ml)
• Inspiratory capacity equals tidal volume plus inspiratory reserve volume (3500ml)
• Functional residual capacity equals expiratory reserve volume plus residual volume (2300ml)
• Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after maximal inhalation
• Total lung capacity is the sum of all lung volumes (approximately 6 liters)
• Lung volumes and capacities can be measured using spirometry
• These measurements can be used to diagnose and monitor respiratory diseases.
