Respiration 7- Lung volumes and the diagnosis of respiratory disease

?
using spirometry, what is lung function measured as? E.G. used as a measure of lung disease severity, for example in asthma, COPD and cystic fibrosis.
FEV1 and FVC

DEFINE FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in one second)
the volume of air that can be forcibly expelled from maximum inspiration in the first second
2 of 7
DEFINE FVC
the forced vital capacity and the maximum volume of air that can be expired by force from a maximum inspiration
3 of 7
A FEV1/FVC ratio of WHAT indicates obstructive airway disease, eg asthma and COPD
