23
Q

What gas is higher in concentration in expired air than inspired air?

A

CO2

24
Q

What gas is lower in concentration in expired air than inspired air?

A

25
Q

What is Boyle’s law?

A

Pressure is inversely proportional to volume (of gases)

26
Q

What is Charles’ law?

A

Temperature is proportional to volume (of gases)

27
Q

What effect does temperature have on gas pressure due to water vapour?

A

It causes the gas pressure to increases as the temp increases

28
Q

What is ATPS?

A

A

The assumption that only O2 and CO2 are exchanged in the lungs

32
Q

What is assumes about non O2/CO2 gases in the Haldane Transformation?

A

They have the same volume in both inspiratory and expiratory gases

33
Q

What is the haldane transformation use to caculate?

A
