Enter a tick in the appropriate column to indicate whether the following statements apply to compliance, recoil, or airway resistance.
Understand the Problem
The question asks to evaluate a series of statements regarding their applicability to compliance, recoil, or airway resistance in respiratory physiology, requiring knowledge of these concepts.
Answer
1. Airway resistance 2. Recoil 3. Airway resistance 4. Compliance 5. Compliance 6. Airway resistance 7. Compliance
- Increased by parasympathetic stimulation: Airway resistance
- Dependent upon the elastic framework of the lung: Recoil
- Dependent on bronchiolar diameter: Airway resistance
- The stretchability of the lung: Compliance
- Reduced in restrictive disorders: Compliance
- Increased in obstructive disorders: Airway resistance
- Increased by surfactant in the alveoli: Compliance
Answer for screen readers
- Increased by parasympathetic stimulation: Airway resistance
- Dependent upon the elastic framework of the lung: Recoil
- Dependent on bronchiolar diameter: Airway resistance
- The stretchability of the lung: Compliance
- Reduced in restrictive disorders: Compliance
- Increased in obstructive disorders: Airway resistance
- Increased by surfactant in the alveoli: Compliance
More Information
Compliance deals with lung stretchability (enhanced by surfactant and reduced in restrictive disorders). Airway resistance is influenced by bronchiolar diameter and the nervous system. Recoil depends on the elastic framework.
Tips
Common mistakes include misunderstanding the factors affecting compliance and confusing airway resistance with recoil.
