Questions and Answers

What is the formula for alveolar ventilation (VA)?

  • $VA = (VT - VD) \times frequency$ (correct)
  • $VA = VT - VD$
  • $VA = VT + VD$
  • $VA = \frac{VT}{VD} \times frequency$
  • What does the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve shift to the left from?

  • Decrease in PO2
  • Increase in blood pH (correct)
  • Decrease in temperature
  • Increase in CO2
  • What is the function of central chemoreceptors in the body?

  • Detect pH (correct)
  • Decrease resistance in airways with exercise
  • Detect hypoxia and hypercapnia
  • Located in the brain
