2) What are ventilation and perfusion? Briefly explain how the process of ventilation-perfusion coupling is achieved 3) Briefly describe the steps of normal quiet inspiration and expiration.
Describe the physical properties of the lungs and how they
relate to ventilation. Be sure to explain what elasticity and
compliance and relate these physical lung properties to specific
aspects of ventilation. Explain they are important

Describe how the central chemoreceptors act to regulate
ventilation. Be sure to describe the integrating centers and
sensors involved, their locations, and explain their roles in
determining ventilation rate. Be sure to include any chemical
equations (and enzymes!) that are necessary to explain ventilation
regulation and explain how the mechanisms work. Then explain how
the system responds when arterial blood pH is elevated, and explain
how the response corrects arterial CO2. Explain how the
system responds when arterial blood pH...

How
would going up into the mountains effect the process of
ventilation. make sure you clearly define how Boyle's law and
Dalton's partial pressure law are effected by the change in
altitude and how the body compensates physiologically the
ventilation process.
