Final answer:

The volume of air left after maximum forceful expiration in the human lung is the Residual Volume (RV).

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of air left after maximum forceful expiration in the human lung is the Residual Volume (RV). The residual volume is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after a forceful exhalation. It is the only lung volume that cannot be directly measured and can only be calculated.
