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.
It is the sum of the expiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and inspiratory reserve volume. The inspiratory capacity (IC) is the amount of air that can be inhaled after the end of a normal expiration. It is, therefore, the sum of the tidal volume and inspiratory reserve volume. The functional residual capacity (FRC) includes the expiratory reserve volume and the residual volume.
