residual volume is the amount of air left in your lungs after fully exhaling.
The air that can not be exhaled is called residual volume.TV = the amount of air displaced during normal breathing.IRV = The amount of air that can be taken in forcibly beyond tidal volumeErv= The amount of that can be expelled forcibly.Vital capacity = the total amount of exchangeable air.Total Lung capacity = TV + IRV + ERV + RESIDUAL VOLUME

this is called residual volume.
The residual volume is the volume of air remaining in the lungs after the most powerful expiration.

Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) = Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) + Residual Volume (RV)
Residual volume allows gas exchange to go on continuously
The function of residual volume is to keep enough pressure in the lungs to keep them from collapsing.
Tidal volume is the amount of swag in the air and the amount of banter in a toilet
