ERV does not include tidal volume which is the typical amount of air coming in and out of your lungs with each breath. (approx 500ml) ERV is the amount of air evacuated out of your lungs after tidal expiration. (approx 1200ml) Vital Capacity is the total amount of exchangeable air or the sum of TV, ERV, and IRV. IRV is inspiratory reserve volume or the amount of air you can inspire forcibly beyond the tidal volume (approx 2100- 3200ml).
In contrast to Inspiratory Reserve volume,Tidal volume and Expiratory reserve volume, residual volume does not change with exercise
inspiratory reserve volume= expiratory reserve volume + Tidal Volume - Vital capacity
It's the inspiratory reserve volume plus the tidal volume plus the expiratory reserve volume

Erv = FEV - TV

The abbreviation FRV stands for functional reserve volume. Functional reserve volume is used to describe the volume of air in ones lungs at the end of the expiratory position.
What happens to residual volume, tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume just after exercise while breathing deeply and rapidly? Do they increase, decrease or stay the same?
Vital Capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a maximum inhalation. But it differs from one person to another. For a normal sized male that would be 4600 ml.
The maximum amount of air you can exhale after normal exhalation is fittingly called the expiratory reserve volume. The actual amount of air can vary from person to person, depending on size the of thoracic cavity and fitness level.
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) = Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) + Residual Volume (RV)
The ERV is the expiratory reserve volume, which is the amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal volume exhalation.
