v= ventilation
q= blood flow
Describe lung zone 1 pressures
apex
alveolar> arterial> venous
Describe zone 3 pressures
arterial> venous> alveolar
Describe lung zone 2 pressure
arterial> alveolar> venous
when airway pressure is 0 you are in a resting state. What is the intrapleural pressure
-5 cm H20
How can pleura pull air into the lung
resting pleural presure= -5
inspiration= -7.5
-7.5 creates a negative alveolar pressure that draws air into the lung
