. Ventilation-Perfusion Ratio
. Effect of Ventilation-Perfusion Inequality in Overall Gas Exchange- Zero V/Q-
Low V/Q or VQ<1- V/Q of Infinity - Dead Space- High V/Q or V/Q>1
. Regional gas exchange in the lung
. Ventilation-Perfusion Inequality
 QUESTION

1. Pulmonary ventilation is defined as the amount of air utilised for gaseous

exchange every minute. (T/F)

2. Khyphoscoliosis is the extra pulmonary cause of poor alveolar ventilation.

(T/F)

3. Diffusion limitation usually cause hypoxemia at rest at sea level.(T/F)
