Compare and contrast the regulation of vasoconstriction and vasodilation in pulmonary arteries and systemic arteries. In your response, explain how changes in partial pressures of oxygen (PO2) and carbon dioxide (PCO2) influence the behavior of both pulmonary and systemic arterioles, and provide an explanation for why the response makes sense for each tissue. 

How does pH influence respiration?

What is the normal tidal volume in a healthy adult?

What happens to breathing when PO2 decreases?

Which lung capacity is the sum of tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, and expiratory reserve volume?

Which muscles contract during normal (quiet) inspiration?

How does high CO2 concentration affect oxygen binding to hemoglobin?

Which type of cell produces surfactant in the alveoli?

Ischemic hypoxia results from:

Which of the following blood variables is monitored to elicit a response from the respiratory system?
