Ligament & Meniscus. Related topic Background Each knee has two menisci. They are commonly called âthe cartilageâ, although this is not strictly accurate. There is one on the medial (inner) side of the knee and one on the lateral (outer) side of the knee. They are C, or crescent shaped, and serve to cup the femur as it sits on the tibia to improve the congruity of the joint.
expiratory reserve volume. Type:Term. Definitions. 1. the maximal volume of air (about 1000 mL) that can be expelled from the lungs after a normal expiration.
This can be calculated by the addition of tidal volume and the IRV. Vital Capacity (VC) is the maximum volume of air that can be exhaled following a deep inspiration. This is the total of IRV + TV + ERV. Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) is the volume of air that remains in the lungs during quite breathing.
