Hi: in my Anatomy & Physiology II our teacher explained Pulmonary capacity as the sum of two or more primary lung volumes. There are five pulmonary capacities:Inspiratory Capacity (IC) IC= TV + IRVExpiratory Capacity (EC) EC= TV + ERVFunctional Residual Capacity (FRC) FRC= ERV + RVVital Capacity (VC) VC= IRV + TV + ERVTotal Lung Capacity (TLC) TLC= IRV + TV + ERV + RVTV = Tidal volume.IRV= Inspiratory reserve volume.ERV= Expiratory reserve volume.RV =Residual volume.Pulmonary volumes and capacities are measure, usually, when is suspected a respiratory disease because volumes and capacities changes with respiratory diseases.
