Study Notes
Respiratory Volumes
- The volume of air exhaled normally after a typical inspiration is the Tidal Volume (TV).
- The sum of Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV), Tidal Volume (TV), and Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) is the Vital Capacity (VC).
- The volume of air expired per second during forced expiration is the Forced Expiratory Flow (FEF).
- The volume of air that represents the additional volume of air when forced inhalation occurs is the Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV).
- The volume of air that cannot be forcibly expired is the Residual Volume (RV).
- The term used for any respiratory passageway with air that is inhaled and 'sits' in our airways and does not partake in gas exchange is Dead Space.
- The largest volume of air an individual can move into and out of the lungs is the Total Lung Capacity (TLC).
- The term used for the volume of air moved per minute is the Minute Ventilation (MV).
- The term used for the volume of air expired per second during forced expiration is the Forced Expiratory Flow (FEF).
- The difference between Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) and Tidal Volume (TV) is that IRV is the additional air inhaled with maximum effort, while TV is the normal amount of air inhaled with each breath.
