SP-_____ & SP-C - are the key protein members of the monomolecular film of surfactant.

The smooth muscle of the conducting airways of the lung _____ in response to sympathetic activation of beta-2 adrenergic receptors

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

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

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

Hysteresis occurs due to the need to overcome _____ forces during lung inflation (inspiration)

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

O2 is carried in blood in two forms: _____ (2%) or bound to hemoglobin (98%)

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