Definitions:

Vital Capacity (VC)

The maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after a maximum inhalation, a measure of lung function.

Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)

The additional amount of air that can be inhaled after a normal inhalation, contributing to total lung capacity.

Expiratory Capacity (EC)

The maximum volume of air that can be exhaled from the lungs after a normal tidal volume exhalation.

Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)

The volume of air present in the lungs at the end of a passive expiration, combining residual and expiratory reserve volumes.
