T or F The intrapleural Pressure is always negative in normal breathing
True
According to the equation for bulk flow in the pulmonary system, negative flow is (expiration/inspiration)
Inspiration
The elastic recoil of the chest wall causes the chest wall to move (in/outward)
Outward
Which is greater
a. The compliance of the chest wall b. The compliance of the lung
- The compliance of the lung
Which of the following is NOT a function of the pulmonary system?
a. Defense against pathogens b. Regulating acid-base balance c. Regulating sodium and potassium concentrations d. Regulating sodium chemical messengers in the blood e. Trapping blood clots f. All of the above are functions of the pulmonary system
C - Regulating sodium and potassium concentrations (kidney function)
If lung compliance is too high,
a. Both Expiration and inspiration are more difficult b. Expiration is more difficult and inspiration is easier c. Both expiration and inspiration are easier d. Inspiration is more difficult and expiration is easier
B - Expiration is more difficult and inspiration is easier
During expiration, which is greater - the absolute value of the Ptm across the chest wall or the absolute value of the elastic recoil of the chest
A - The absolute value of the transmural pressure across the CW
According to the Law of Laplace, if surface tension were the same in all alveoli, only the (largest/smallest) alveoli would inflate
largest
During expiration, which is greater - the abs value of the elastic recoil of the lung or the absolute value of the transpulmonary pressure
The abs value of the elastic recoil of the lung
Normal resting expiration requires the contraction of…
