Study Notes
Respiratory Volumes
- Tidal Volume (TV): Measures the amount of air inhaled or exhaled in a single breath; typically around 500 mL.
- Minute Ventilation: During normal activity, a healthy individual can move approximately 6000 to 8000 mL of air per minute.
Additional Respiratory Volumes
- Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV): Represents the extra air that can be inhaled after a normal breath; averages between 2500 mL and 3000 mL.
- Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV): Indicates the extra air that can be exhaled after a normal breath; averages between 1000 mL and 1100 mL.
