Dead Space and Vd/Vt

Causes of Increased/Decreased Vd

Alveolar Compliance Curve

V/Q relationships
Non-dependent and Dependent areas of lung

Alveolar Surface Tension
Law of LaPlace

West Zones

A-a Gradient

Lung Volumes

Lung Capacities

Factors that effect FRC
FRC = ERV + RV = 35ml/kg

Oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve
(Bohr Effect = how CO2 effects the release of oxygen)

Mechanisms of CO2 Transport
(Boh

CO2 Dissociation Curve
(Haldane effect = how oxygen effects the release of CO2)

hypercapnia
PaCO2 = CO2 production/Alveolar ventilation

Consequences of Hypercapnia

Affects of hypercapnia on blood pH
