Q

major roles of the respiratory system are

A

Respiration and the exchange of gas

Depends on compliance of lungs and alveoli that are ventilated and perfused

Q

What is the effect of ventilation perfusion defects

A

Alveoli not perfused = ventilatory “dead space”

Alveoli not ventilated= shunting non oxygenated blood to systemic circulation causing cyanosis
