Study Notes
Lung Volumes and Capacity
Residual Volume (RV)
- The volume of air remaining in the lungs after expiration
- Approximately 1.2 liters in healthy adults
- Cannot be measured directly, calculated by subtracting Expiratory Reserve Volume from Functional Residual Capacity
Vital Capacity (VC)
- The maximum amount of air that can be exhaled from the lungs after taking a deep breath
- Approximately 4.8 liters in healthy adults
- Calculated by adding Inspiratory Reserve Volume, Tidal Volume, and Expiratory Reserve Volume
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
- The maximum amount of air that can be exhaled from the lungs after a normal exhalation
- Approximately 1.2 liters in healthy adults
- Measured by exhaling as much air as possible after a normal breath
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
- The maximum amount of air that can be inhaled from the lungs after a normal inhalation
- Approximately 3.2 liters in healthy adults
- Measured by inhaling as much air as possible after a normal breath
Tidal Volume (TV)
- The volume of air inhaled or exhaled during a normal breath
- Approximately 0.5 liters in healthy adults
- Measured during quiet breathing
Lung Volumes and Capacity
Residual Volume (RV)
- Remaining air in the lungs after expiration, approximately 1.2 liters in healthy adults
- Calculated by subtracting Expiratory Reserve Volume from Functional Residual Capacity
Vital Capacity (VC)
- Maximum amount of air exhaled from the lungs after a deep breath, approximately 4.8 liters in healthy adults
- Calculated by adding Inspiratory Reserve Volume, Tidal Volume, and Expiratory Reserve Volume
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
- Maximum amount of air exhaled from the lungs after a normal exhalation, approximately 1.2 liters in healthy adults
- Measured by exhaling as much air as possible after a normal breath
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
- Maximum amount of air inhaled from the lungs after a normal inhalation, approximately 3.2 liters in healthy adults
- Measured by inhaling as much air as possible after a normal breath
Tidal Volume (TV)
- Volume of air inhaled or exhaled during a normal breath, approximately 0.5 liters in healthy adults

Antigens and Antibodies
- Antigens are substances that trigger an immune response, leading to antibody production.
- Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to antigen presence.
Blood Group Antigens
- Blood group antigens are found on the surface of red blood cells, triggering an immune response.
ABO Blood Group System
- A and B antigens are present on red blood cells, triggering an immune response.
- A and B antibodies are present in plasma, reacting with A and B antigens, respectively.
Blood Transfusion Reactions
- Type and cross-match involves identifying the recipient's blood type and testing compatibility with the donor's blood to prevent reactions.
- Hemolytic transfusion reactions occur when incompatible blood is transfused, leading to red blood cell destruction.
- Symptoms of hemolytic transfusion reactions include fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, flank pain, and in severe cases, acute kidney failure and death.
Incompatible Transfusions
- Major incompatibility occurs when A/B antigens on donor red blood cells react with A/B antibodies in the recipient's plasma.
- Minor incompatibility occurs when antibodies in the donor's plasma react with antigens on the recipient's red blood cells.
Prevention of Transfusion Reactions
- Screening tests detect unexpected antibodies in the recipient's plasma.
- Cross-matching is a final compatibility check between the donor's blood and the recipient's blood.
