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.
Exhalation, similar to inhalation, consists of the standard tidal volume as well as the potential for an expiratory resolve volume (ERV). The ERV can be thought of as the amount of air that is pushed out after a normal breath if you were to exhale as much as possible. Another commonly used term is vital capacity (VC).
