Study Notes
Spirometer and Lung Volumes
- A spirometer is a device that measures lung volumes and capacities.
- The normal depth of breathing is represented by Tidal Volume (TV).
- The normal value for Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) is 3000 mL.
- The Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) is the additional volume of air that can be expired out forcefully, after normal expiration.
- The Residual Volume (RV) is the volume of air remaining in the lungs even after forced expiration.
