Practice: A 19-year-old female with a three-year history of asthma presents to her allergist for pulmonary function testing. She is connected to a spirometer asked to breathe normally. Which of the following is being measured?

Practice: A 19-year-old female with a three-year history of asthma presents to her allergist for pulmonary function testing. She is connected to a spirometer asked to exhale as much as she can, then inhale as much as she can. Which of the following is being measured?

Practice: A 19-year-old female with a three-year history of asthma presents to her allergist for pulmonary function testing. She is connected to a spirometer asked to inhale normally, then additionally inhale as much as she can. Which of the following is being measured?
