BCEN- respiratory Questions and answers, 100% Accurate. VERIFIED. ventilation - -movement of air in and out of the lungs Diffusion - -the process by which molecules of gas move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration (alveolar and capillary). if ventilation & perfusion match you get diffusion. If they don't match- VQ mismatch Perfusion (Q) - -the process of transporting gases to the body (capillary) via the circulatory system. dead space ventilation ...

NAVLE Practice Questions (Zuku Review) with 100% Correct Answers A two-year-old Angus cow is presented with weakness of the hind limbs and a staggering gait. On physical exam, the heart rate and respiratory rate are slow and irregular, and the pupils are dilated. The cow's breath and urine smell like the odor of mouse urine. Suddenly the cow's pulse becomes rapid and thready, she collapses, and dies of apparent respiratory failure. Which one of the following plants is most likely to have...
