Document Summary
Resting expiratory level: state of equilibrium at end of inhalation and end of exhalation. Resting tidal volume/tidal breathing: volume of air exchanged during a specific task, depends upon task demands, serves as reference point. Inspiratory reserve volume: quantity of air that can be inhaled after natural inhalation. Expiratory reserve volume: maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after regular expiration. Residual volume: maximum amount of air remaining in lungs after maximum exhalation, increases with age. Inspiratory capacity: maximum amount of air that can be inhaled at the end of regular expiration. Functional residual capacity: volume of air contained in lungs after natural exhalation. Vital capacity: total amount of air available for life and speech (tv + irv) Total lung capacity: total amount of air lungs are capable of holding (vc + rv) Inadequate air supply intake problems: limited vital capacity.
