Respiratory Physiology
Respiratory volumes and capacities refers to the volume of air associated with
different phases of the respiratory cycle
Respiratory volumes are measured and capacities are inferred from measured
volumes.
Respiratory volumes will vary with a persons size, age, sex and physical condition
and can be measured with a spirometer
