The oxygen-Hb dissociation curve is roughly flat when the Po2 is between _____ and 100 mmHg

_____ dead space can be measured by the single-breath N2 curve (Fowler's method).

In _____ lung disease, the flow volume loop shifts to the right

The _____ respiratory group is primarily responsible for inspiration and generates the basic rhythm for breathing

Shifts of the O2-Hb dissociation curve to the _____ cause decreased unloading of O2 at tissues

_____ chemoreceptors are located in the carotid bodies and aortic bodies

The volume of the _____ zone of the lung comprises the "anatomic dead space"

_____ in temperature cause the O2-hemoglobin dissociation curve to shift to the left
