| vitiated air | Air containing a reduced percentage of oxygen. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| reserve air | The extra volume of air that can be expired with maximum effort beyond the level reached at the end of a normal, quiet expiration. Common abbreviation is erv. (12 Dec 1998) |
| residual air | The volume of air remaining in the lungs at the end of a maximal expiration. Common abbreviation is rv. (12 Dec 1998) |
| middle ethmoidal air cells | The middle group of air cells of the ethmoidal sinus's; each sinus communicates with the middle meatus of the nasal cavity. Synonym: sinus ethmoidales mediae, cellulae mediae, middle cells, middle ethmoidal sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| minimal air | The volume of gas that remains in the lungs and cannot be expelled after they have been removed from the body, or after the chest has been opened. (05 Mar 2000) |
