What is the alveolar ventilation of a resting person with a tidal volume of 500 mL, a dead space of 150 mL, and a respiratory rate of 12 breaths per minute? Suppose the person exercises, so that tidal volume increases to 4000 mL, dead space increases to 300 mL due to dilation of the respiratory passageways, and respiratory rate increases to 24 breaths per minute. What is the alveolar ventilation then? How is the change in alveolar ventilation beneficial for doing exercise?
What is the primary regulator of ventilation?
Arterial Pco2
Venous Po2
O Arterial Po2
O Venous Pco2
The alveolar gas equation is used to determine the partial pressure of alveolar oxygen by using a direct measure of the
OA. Systemic arterial PCO2

OB. Systemic arterial PO2
OC. Systemic venous PO2
OD. Pulmonary arterial PO2
