A 45-year-old man inhaled as much air as possible
and then expired with a maximum effort until no more air could be expired. This
produced the maximum expiratory flow-volume curve shown in the following
diagram. What is the forced vital capacity of this man (in liters)?

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

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?

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?
