In the accompanying Figure 4, which panel most closely illustrates the profile of PCO2 along the pulmonary capillary?   

If the pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) remains constant but the cardiac output (Q˙) decreases by half:

Which of the following is/are defined as primary lung volumes?

The conducting airways:

I witnessed cheating on this exam and request a meeting with Dr. Romani to discuss this.

The parameter that is unique in influencing both lung volume and airflow during the time course of an inspiration is:

The central pattern generator for ventilation resides in the:

The accompanying Figure 3 shows three hemoglobin-oxygen dissociation curves. Which one most clearly represents a decrease in O2-carrying capacity produced by the Bohr effect?     

Rapidly ascending to high altitude would immediately lead—in a matter of minutes—to what acid-base disorder?

The plethysmographic approach for measuring residual volume (RV) is based upon:
