what is total lung capacity?
the rate at which air is exchanged in the lungs
maximum amount of air that the lungs can hold
the volume of air that is inhaled and exhaled during normal breathing
the amount of air left in the lungs after exhaling
the amount of air in the lungs during maximum inhalation
Total lung capacity refers to the maximum amount of air that the lungs can hold. It is the sum of all lung volumes (tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, and residual volume). The rate at which air is exchanged in the lungs is related to ventilation rate. The volume of air inhaled and exhaled during normal breathing is tidal volume. The amount of air left in the lungs after exhaling is residual volume. The amount of air in the lungs during maximum inhalation is not the same as total lung capacity which is the maximum hold (including residual volume etc.).
