'e' represents the inspiratory capacity.
Inspiratory capacity is the volume of gas that can be taken into the lungs in a full inhalation, starting from the resting inspiratory position. It is equal to the tidal volume plus the inspiratory reserve volume.
'b' represents the tidal volume.
Tidal volume is the lung volume. It represents the normal volume of air displaced between normal inhalation and exhalation when extra effort is not applied.

'd' represents emphysema
Emphysema is one of the diseases that comprises chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It involves gradual damage of lung tissue, specifically thinning and destruction of the air sacs.
'a' represents pneumonia
Pneumonia is inflammation of the tissue in lungs. It is generally caused by a bacterial infection. are clusters of tiny air sacs. In a person having pneumonia, the tiny sacs at the end of the breathing tubes in lungs become inflamed and fill up with fluid.
