Summary Introduction

To determine:

The radius of the bronchioles when V/Q ratio changes due to decreased blood flow in alveolus.

Introduction:

The ventilation-perfusion ratio also termed as V-Q ratio is used to determine the efficiency and adequacy of ventilation (V) and perfusion (Q). These two variables are used to determine the oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration. The ideal V/Q ratio is 1.
