If a person takes a normal breathe-volumeof 500ml, why does only 350ml actually ventilate the alveoli? A. because inspiratory volume requires 150ml. B. because 150ml of inspired air is shunted to the terminal bronchioles. C. because 150Oml of inspired air is "setting" in the airways; it is anatomical dead space D. because 150ml is lost to diaphragmatic regression

The body changes alveolar ventilation rates to maintain proper alveolar gas levels. Which of the following would result in an increase in minute alveolar ventilation? Select one: O a. None are correct O b. Central chemoreceptors detecting a small decrease in 02 levels O c. venous pCO2 of 43 O d. Peripheral chemoreceptors detecting a decrease in pH levels O e. Decreasing the respiring tissue consumption of 02
a.) What is the impact on internal respiration in your alveoli if the partial pressure of the oxygen gas in the air goes down? and the partial pressure of the carbon dioxide gas goes up? b.) What would happen as a result of both of these happening?
In an infant born prematurely, surfactant production may have not been adequate to maintain alveoli open after birth. What would that do to the compliance of the lungs? a. decrease it; making it more difficult to move air in and out the lungs b. increase it; making it more difficult to more air in and out the lungs c. keeps it the same would be seen with adequate surfactant
