A 67-year-old man has a solid tumor that pushes
against an airway partially obstructing air flow to the distal alveoli. Which
point on the ventilation-perfusion line of the O2-CO2 diagram corresponds to
the alveolar gas of these distal alveoli?

A 55-year-old male has a pulmonary embolism that
partially blocks the blood flow to his right lung. Which point on the
ventilation-perfusion line of the O2-CO2 diagram corresponds to the alveolar
gas of his right lung?

The next diagram shows two lung units (S and T) with their blood supplies. Lung unit S has an ideal relationship between blood flow and ventilation. Lung unit T has a comprised blood flow. What is the relationship between alveolar dead space (DALV), physiologic dead space (DPHY) and anatomic dead space (DANAT) for these lung units?

The diagrams show changes in the partial pressures
of oxygen and carbon dioxide as blood flows from the arterial end to the venous
of the pulmonary capillaries. Which diagram best depicts the normal relationship
between Po2 (red line) and Pco2 (green line) during resting conditions?

A 17-year-old female was bicycling without a helmet
when she fell and hit her head. In the emergency room, she was not conscious
and was receiving ventilator assistance. Her blood gases follow:
PaO2 = 52 mm Hg,
PaCO2 = 75 mm Hg, pH = 7.15, and
HCO3− = 31 mM
The majority of the CO2 was being transported as
