Amazing !

I'm still not certain I get the difference between SVC and TLC.

If SVC is the volume you can inhale after a full exhalation, and TLC is Total Lung Capacity, then it must be that:

TLC = SVC + RESIDUAL VOLUME

..where Residual Volume is the air left in the lungs after the
"full" exhalation, in other words,

RESIDUAL VOLUME = TLC - SVC

Right ? So it must be that Residual Volume is estimated with
some formula or other, right ?

I used to know this stuff cold ! Is this more or less right ?
