Question

What are respiratory volumes and capacities? Discuss and give the approximate volumes?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Volume Description Average

Inspiratory reserve volume Extra volume that can be inspired above tidal volume, from normal quiet inspiration to maximum inspiration 2.5L

Expiratory reserve volume Extra volume that can be expired below tidal volume, from normal quiet expiration to maximum expiration

there are Four standard lung volumes. the Four standard lung volumes, namely, tidal (TV), inspiratory reserve (IRV), expiratory reserve (ERV), and residual volumes (RV) are described in the literature. Alternatively, the standard lung capacities are inspiratory (IC), functional residual (FRC), vital (VC) and total lung capacities (TLC).
