15 Questions
What happens when ventilation exceeds perfusion in the lungs?
Increased physiological dead space
Why does physiological dead space occur?
Due to deficient perfusion
Which of the following scenarios would likely reduce physiological dead space?
Decreased ventilation and increased perfusion

What is the primary cause of a pulmonary physiological shunt?
Zero or low V/Q ratio due to insufficient ventilation and excess perfusion
Which V/Q ratio is associated with a pulmonary physiological shunt?
Both low and zero V/Q ratios
What effect does a pulmonary physiological shunt have on the V/Q ratio?
It decreases the V/Q ratio
Which of the following best describes the cause of a pulmonary physiological shunt?
Insufficient ventilation and excess perfusion
What is the relationship between ventilation and perfusion in a pulmonary physiological shunt?
Perfusion is greater than ventilation
Study Notes
Physiological Dead Space and Pulmonary Physiological Shunt
- Physiological dead space occurs when ventilation exceeds perfusion due to deficient perfusion.
- Pulmonary physiological shunt is caused by a zero or low V/Q ratio, resulting from insufficient ventilation and excess perfusion.
- Deficient perfusion leads to physiological dead space, whereas excess perfusion contributes to pulmonary physiological shunt.
- Both concepts are crucial in understanding the respiratory system, specifically in the context of ventilation-perfusion ratio (V/Q ratio).
Test your knowledge on physiological dead space and the condition when ventilation exceeds perfusion due to deficient perfusion. Explore the concept of ventilation-perfusion mismatch in this quiz.
