FRC, TLC contain Residual. It helps you recall: Capacities that include residual volume.
Functional residual capacity = ERV + RV
Total lung capacity = VC + RV
Cannot be measured by simple spirometry
FRC: Functional residual capacity = ERV + RV; TLC: Total lung capacity = VC + RV; Residual: Cannot be measured by simple spirometry.
