The vital capacity of the lungs is the maximum volume of air that can be exhaled after inhaling fully.
How to measure vital capacity using simple apparatus.
The closer a measurement is to the true value, the more accurate it is said to be.
An estimate is an approximate (rough) value of a quantity (without taking accurate measurements).
An estimate of lung volume can be calculated from a measurement of vital capacity.
