Air movement
Movement of air depends upon Boyles Law Pressure and volume inverse relationship Volume depends on movement of diaphragm and ribs Pressure and airflow to the lungs Compliance an indication of the expandability of the lungs

Relationship between intrapulmonary pressure and atmospheric pressure determines direction of air flow
Intrapleural pressure maintains pull on lungs Pressure in the space between parietal and visceral pleura

Respiratory volumes
Alveolar volume Amount of air reaching the alveoli each minute Tidal Volume (VT) Amount of air inhaled or exhaled with each breath
Vital capacity
Tidal volume plus expiratory and inspiratory reserve volumes
Residual volume
Air left in lungs after maximum exhalation
