| flow-volume curve | The graph produced by plotting the instantaneous flow of respiratory gas against the simultaneous lung volume, usually during maximal forced expiration. (05 Mar 2000) |

| foliage volume | <botany> The space, expressed in cubic metres, occupied by a tree. (12 Nov 1997) |
| forced expiratory volume | Measure of the maximum amount of air during a forced vital capacity determination that can be expelled in a given number of seconds. It is usually given as fev followed by a subscript indicating the number of seconds over which the measurement is made, although it is sometimes given as a percentage of forced vital capacity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| left ventricular volume overload | <radiology> VSD, patent ductus arteriosus, mitral incompetence, aortic incompetence (12 Dec 1998) |
| lung volume measurements | Measurement of the amount of air that the lungs may contain at various points in the respiratory cycle. (12 Dec 1998) |
