Type I glomus cells (carotid and aortic body) have O2-sensitive _____ channels, whose conductance is reduced in proportion to the degree of hypoxia.

_____ is defined as a decrease of O2 delivery to tissues

If there is a(n) _____ obstruction, the V/Q ratio = $\infty$ (infinity) (physiological dead space)

Airway resistance is _____ proportional to the fourth power of the radius of the airway

What are the causes of death in dry drowning? _____ and Laryngeal spasm
