Filtration force decreases
What does the value '1' refer to in relation to the Average V/Q?
An approximation
How would a decrease in Cardiac Output affect the Average V/Q?
Decrease
How does the presence of πcap contribute to fluid dynamics inside the pulmonary capillary?
Increases filtration force
If Alveolar Ventilation were increased to 5 L per min, what effect would this have on the Average V/Q?
Decrease
In the context of Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR) and Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR), why is the left area thicker than the right area?
Due to a higher TPR and PVR in the left area.
What is the relationship between the thickness of a particular area and its corresponding vascular resistance according to the information provided?
The thicker the area, the higher the vascular resistance.
What effect would a decrease in Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR) have on the thickness of a specific area, according to the passage?
Decrease in thickness
If Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) were to increase by 10 times relative to Total Peripheral Resistance (TPR), what impact would this have on the relative thickness between two areas?
The left area would become thicker.
How does a significant difference in vascular resistance between two areas affect their respective thicknesses as outlined in the passage?
The area with higher resistance will be thicker.
