Respiratory System — Flashcards

In zone _____ of the lung, alveolar ventilation (V) is highest

In zone 2 of the lung, blood flow is driven by the difference between _____ and alveolar pressure

The _____ in red blood cells (from H2CO3) is transported into the plasma in exchange for Cl-

The V/Q ratio is _____ in zone 1 (apex) of the lung

Effects of Various Lesions and Brainstem Transections:Complete transection midway between pons and medulla with vagi _____ will lead to: irregular but rhythmic respiration

If CO2 production is constant, then the arterial and alveolar _____ is determined by alveolar ventilation

The total gas concentration in solution is the sum of the _____ gas plus bound gas plus chemically modified gas

The V/Q ratio at the base of the lung is normally _____, indicating wasted perfusion

The gradient between PAo2 - PaO2 is known as the _____ and is normally 10 - 15 mmHg

The _____ pressure across the lungs is calculated as alveolar pressure minus intrapleural pressure
