Question 1

Question
At the apex of the lung
Answer
  • Increase in RV
  • Increase in FRC
  • Complaince is increased
  • VC is decreased
  • all of the above are correct

Question 2

Question
Airflow will go the area of highest compliance First so it will go to the apex
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 3

Question
Relative ventilation is highest at the base of the upright lung due to the base having higher compliance at FRC than the apex
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 4

Question
Work of breathing involves elastic (35%) and viscous resistance (65%)
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 5

Question
Regarding Work of breathing Pressure volume curves
Answer
  • Restrictive disease elastic work increases
  • Obstructive disease - viscous work increases
  • In patients with increased lung compliance (emphysema) slow deep breaths would minimize the work of breathing
  • all of the above are correct
  • None of the above are correct
