Volumes & Capacities

Volumes and Capacties of the Respiratory System

Volume/Capacity Name Definition
Tidal Volume (TV) volume of air exchanged in one cycle of respiration
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) volume of air that can be inhaled after tidal respiration
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) volume of air that can be expired following passive, tidal expiration
Resting Lung Volume also known as expiratory reserve volume; volume of air that can be expired following passive, tidal expiration
Residual Volume (RV) volume of air remaining in the lungs after a maximum exhalation
Dead Air volume of air within the conducting passageways that cannot be involved in gas exchange (included as a component of residual volume)
Vital Capacity (VC) the volume of air that can be inhaled following a maximal exhalation
Vital Capacity (VC) includes inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and expiratory reserve volume ( = IRV + TV + ERV)
Functional Residual Capacity the volume of air in the body at the ends of passive exhalation
Functional Residual Capacity includes expiratory reserve and residual volumes ( = ERV + RV)
Total Lung Capacity (TLC) the sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, expiratory reserve volume and residual volume ( = IC + FRC)
Inspiratory Capacity (IC) the maximum inspiratory volume possible after tidal expiration ( = TV + IRV)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
