Question
Answer
The air that enters your body with each breath (approx. 500 ml).   Tidal Volume  
🗑
The ratio of CO2 produced to O2 consumed. Usually 0.85 for a mixed diet.   Respiratory Quotient  
🗑
RQ   Respiratory Quotient  
🗑
The amount of air ventilated per minute.   Minute ventilation.  
🗑
V dot E.   Minute ventilation.  
🗑
Tidal volume (Vt) multiplied by respiratory rate (eta).   Minute ventilation.  
🗑
The volume of air that does not participate in gaseous exchange.   Dead space  
🗑
Alveolar volume times ventilation rate is called:   alveolar ventilation  
🗑
If you add dead space and alveolar volume together, you get:   tidal volume  
🗑
The air contained within the pharynx, larynx, and conducting pathways is best defined as:   anatomic dead space  
🗑
If I'm talking about the unperfused air in alveoli sacs, I'm talking about:   alveolar dead space  
🗑
Normally anatomic dead space equals:   physiological dead space  
🗑
The sum of alveolar and anatomic dead space equals:   physiological dead space  
🗑
Physiological dead space is a __________ measurement.   functional  
🗑
