some bronchial artery blood drains into the pulmonary veins
33
Which of the following has the greatest effect on constriction of the pre-capillary resistance vessels in the lung?
low alveolar oxygen (want to bypass regions with low alveolar O2)
34
WITHOUT surfactant, as alveolar radius increases, what happens to the collapse tendency of the lung?

WITH surfactant, as alveolar radius increases, what happens to the collapse tendency of the lung?
stable/ doesn't change
36
What is the solubility of the following gases from greatest to least in aqueous fluid? - CO2 - O2 - He - CO - N2

Which of the following conditions would significantly increase total pulmonic blood volume?
mitral valve stenosis
