ABSTRACT
Lung function tests are helpful to assess the functional grade of Respiratory system not only in physiological but in pathological state of affairs also. These are based on the capacity of quantity or volume of air breathes in and out in quite breathing and in forced breathing. Air in lungs is categorized in to two divisions’ lung volume and lung capacity or ability. Lung capacities or aptitudes are the combination of two or more lung volumes. The notion of Pran Vayu is significant in case of respiration because Aacharya Charaka says that pure blood provides the person with strength, luster & happy life because vital breath follows blood. It represents mechanism of oxygenated & deoxygenated blood & its relation with functioning capacity of Lungs. So this effort has been made to review concepts regarding functions of Pran Vayu to ascertain Lung Function aptitude.
Key words: Prana Vayu, Lung aptitude, Pure blood.
