Normally, alveolar ventilation is about:

Which of the following are true with regard to the alveolar oxygen tension (PAO2)?

With regard to the previous question and the calculated V/Q ratio, predict how the alveolar gases (PAO2 and PACO2) will be affected (increased/decreased).

Why did Plato think that “judging something truly without mistakes” was an inaccurate definition of knowledge?

and Goetz also claims that:

I have read the syllabus and lab safety contract in their entirety and agree to abide by all rules and policies therein. 

Which of the following sampling techniques involve the selection of every 5th individual?

Pick TRUE for another free point.

What example does Plato use to illustrate his solution to the value problem regarding knowledge?

A patient with lobar pneumonia has some alveoli filled with infectious debris resulting in alveolar collapse, changing the V/Q ratio from normal. This results in regional hypoxia in that area of the lung. In response to regional hypoxia, pulmonary vasoconstriction occurs in the affected lung resulting in another change in the V/Q. Briefly answer these questions about this situation. 1) Is the V/Q change caused by alveolar collapse described as relative shunt or relative deadspace and in what direction is the V/Q moving?2) Why does vasoconstriction cause the V/Q to change again and how is the V/Q being affected?
