The volume of air in the lungs at different stages of the respiratory cycle is referred to as lung volumes and lung capacities. An adult human male's entire lung capacity is around 6 liters of air.

The ratio  [tex]\frac{FEV1}{FVC}[/tex]  indicates the diameter of an airway. The greater the value, the more quickly air can pass through the airway. As a result, the lower the resistance, the broader the airway becomes.
