What is Lung Volumes and Capacities Overview about?

The document defines and describes lung volumes and capacities. There are 4 basic lung volumes - tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, and residual volume. Lung capacities include total lung capacity, vital capacity, functional residual capacity, and inspiratory capacity. These are sums of the basic lung volumes. Restrictive diseases decrease lung volumes and capacities, making inspiration difficult. Obstructive diseases decrease vital capacity but increase total lung capacity
