==Lung Volumes and Capacities==
{{Main|Lung volumes}}
There are four lung volumes and four lung capacities. A lung capacity consists of two or more lung volumes. The lung volumes are [[tidal volume]] (V<sub>T</sub>), [[inspiratory reserve volume]] (IRV), [[expiratory reserve volume]] (ERV), and [[residual volume]] (RV). The four lung capacities are [[total lung capacity]] (TLC), [[inspiratory capacity]] (IC), [[functional residual capacity]] (FRC) and the [[vital capacity]] (VC).
