Lung Capacity-

The total lung capacity (TLC) is the most air that you can inspire into your lungs. It is made up of the following:-
Tidal volume (TV): the usual amount of air that you breathe in and out of your lungs with a normal breath
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV): additional air that you can force into your lungs after you breathe in the tidal volume
Expiratory reserve volume (ERV): after you breathe out normally, the ERV is additional air that you can force out
Residual volume (RV): the air that remains in your lungs after you force out as much as possible
Total Lung Capacity= TV+IRV+RV+ERV
