Lung Volumes 🫁 Lung volumes refer to the different amounts of air that can be inhaled or exhaled during different phases of breathing. There are several different lung volumes that are commonly measured, including: Tidal volume: The amount of air that is inhaled or exhaled during a normal breath. Inspiratory reserve volume: The amount of air that can be forcefully inhaled beyond the tidal volume. Expiratory reserve volume: The amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled beyond the tidal volume. Residual volume: The amount of air that remains in the lungs after a maximal exhalation. Total lung capacity: The total amount of air that the lungs can hold, including both the tidal volume and all of the additional volumes.
