Question
Chapter 13, Problem 24RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The major result of ventilation-perfusion inequalities throughout the lungs.
Introduction: The exchange of air between the atmosphere and alveoli of the lungs is termed as ventilation. The flow of blood to alveolar capillaries is termed as perfusion.
Summary Introduction
To describe: The homeostatic responses that minimize mismatching.
Introduction: Ventilation-perfusion mismatch is a situation in which several areas of the lung obtain oxygen but lack blood flow, or they obtain blood flow and lack oxygen.
