The volume of gas contained within the lungs at the end of a maximum inspiration.
The upper right lobe of the lung occupies about 28-32% of the total lung volume in most individuals. It is one of the five lobes of the human lung and is responsible for a portion of the lung's function in respiration.
Taken together, adult human lungs are the largest organ system (the intestines together have nearly the same exterior volume). Each lung measures up to 12 to 16 cm wide and 25 to 35 cm in length. Internally, the total alveolar volume of a human lung is about the size of one-half of a tennis court.
The healthy human lung is sterile
4-6 L of air for an average adult human being
Total lung volume equals Vital Capacity + Residual Volume.

Lung capacity or lung volume is the amount of air a person's lungs can hold. The average human's lungs hold 6 liters of air. Lung volume can change depending on one's altitude, age, gender, height, and activities (including sports, singing, playing woodwind instruments, etc.) among others.
Complications of tidal volume include barotrauma (lung damage from high pressures), volutrauma (lung damage from excessive stretch), and ventilator-associated lung injury. Inadequate tidal volume can lead to hypoventilation and hypercapnia, while excessive tidal volume can cause ventilator-induced lung injury. Close monitoring and adjustment of tidal volume is important to avoid these complications.
Your total lung capacity is the total volume of the lung after maximum inspiration. (average 6 litres).
The mouse lung and the human lung operate in the same way and they help you breath xo hope this helps ?????!!!!!!
