Why do vital capacity, alveolar ventilation, and the diffusion ofgases across the respiratory membrane decrease with age?
Maximal voluntary ventilation decreases with age. Why?
How would blocking the structures of the conducting zone of the respiratory tract impair ventilation? How would the situation change if the structures of the respiratory zone were blocked? Explain
