FUNCTIONAL RESIDUAL CAPACITY

Domain	Definition
Health	The volume of air remaining in the lungs at the end of a normal, quiet expiration. It is the sum of the residual volume and the expiratory reserve volume. Common abbreviation is FRC. (references)
Medicine	The functional residual capacity is the volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end-expiratory level; the FRC has to be measured indirectly because the residual volume, RV, which is a subdivision of the FRC, cannot be removed from the lung; the techniques in common use are the open-circuit(N2 washout)and the closed-circuit(helium dilution)methods.
