Respiratory System Mechanics Simulation Lab Activity 1: MRV __7500__ ml/min =500 tv x 15bmp Does expiratory reserve volume include tidal volume? Explain. Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) does not include tidal volume. Expiratory reserve volume is the amount of air that can be expelled after a normal tidal exhalation. This means that tidal volume is not included in the ERV measurement. Activity 2: FEV1‚ as % of VC Radius FEV1 Vital Capacity FEV1% 5.00 3541 4791 73.90 4.50
