Expiratory reserve volume is decreased in a patient with emphysema. This patient will struggle to breathe out because air is getting trapped within the lungs. There is also an increase of co2 in the blood because of the inability for the patient to exhale.
Take a breath and exhale. Then, don't take another breath in, exhale more. That extra air that would have normally remained in your lungs is reserve lung volume.
the amount of gas remaining in the lung at the end of a maximal exhalation
In contrast to Inspiratory Reserve volume,Tidal volume and Expiratory reserve volume, residual volume does not change with exercise
inspiratory reserve volume= expiratory reserve volume + Tidal Volume - Vital capacity
It's the inspiratory reserve volume plus the tidal volume plus the expiratory reserve volume

The abbreviation FRV stands for functional reserve volume. Functional reserve volume is used to describe the volume of air in ones lungs at the end of the expiratory position.
What happens to residual volume, tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume just after exercise while breathing deeply and rapidly? Do they increase, decrease or stay the same?
Vital Capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a maximum inhalation. But it differs from one person to another. For a normal sized male that would be 4600 ml.
The maximum amount of air you can exhale after normal exhalation is fittingly called the expiratory reserve volume. The actual amount of air can vary from person to person, depending on size the of thoracic cavity and fitness level.
Bronchitis affects your expiratory reserve volume because Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi and the bronchioles which causes air passage to decrease so it's harder for a person to breath out so much air when they have an inflammation in their bronchi and bronchioles.
The ERV is the expiratory reserve volume, which is the amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal volume exhalation.
