Forced expiratory volume (time): a generic term indicating the volume of air exhaled under forced conditions in the first t seconds: FEV 1: Volume that has been exhaled at the end of the first second of forced expiration: FEF x: Forced expiratory flow related to some portion of the FVC curve; modifiers refer to amount of FVC already exhaled ...
Lung volumes. Functional residual capacity (FRC) is the volume of air present in the lungs at the end of passive expiration. [1] At FRC, the opposing elastic recoil forces of the lungs and chest wall are in equilibrium and there is no exertion by the diaphragm or other respiratory muscles.
Forced expiratory volume (time): a generic term indicating the volume of air exhaled under forced conditions in the first t seconds: FEV 1: Volume that has been exhaled at the end of the first second of forced expiration: FEF x: Forced expiratory flow related to some portion of the FVC curve; modifiers refer to amount of FVC already exhaled ...
Output of a spirometer. Vital capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after a maximum inhalation.It is equal to the sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and expiratory reserve volume.

The helium dilution technique is the way of measuring the functional residual capacity of the lungs (the volume left in the lungs after normal expiration).. This technique is a closed-circuit system where a spirometer is filled with a mixture of helium (He) and oxygen.
