ventilation correct answers movement of air in and out of the lungs Diffusion correct answers 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) correct answers the process of transporting gases to the body (capillary) via the circulatory system. dead space ventilation correct answers alveoli receivin...

Which of the following equipment is most helpful at measuring FRC in a patient who has significant non-ventilated lung spaces? A. nitrogen analyzer for a nitrogen washout test B. helium analyzer for a helium dilution test C. peak flow meter D. plethysmograph - Answer • The correct answer is : D • Explanation : You can determine FRC in three different ways - body box, nitrogen washout, or helium dilution. If someone has non-ventilated lung space, nitrogen washout and helium dilutio...
