Which part of the lung receives more ventilation due to the effects of gravity?
- Alveoli in the upper lobe
- Alveoli near the apex
- Alveoli in the middle
- Alveoli at the base (correct)
What is the relationship between compliance and alveolar volume at the apex and base of the lung?
What is the relationship between compliance and alveolar volume at the apex and base of the lung?
- Compliance is lower at the apex and higher at the base (correct)
- Compliance is not affected by alveolar volume
- Compliance is the same at the apex and base
- Compliance is higher at the apex and lower at the base
What is the effect of gravity on the distribution of ventilation in the lung?
What is the effect of gravity on the distribution of ventilation in the lung?
- Gravity causes more ventilation at the apex and less at the base
- Gravity causes more ventilation at the base and less at the apex (correct)
- Gravity causes uniform distribution of ventilation
- Gravity has no effect on ventilation
