TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Alveolar Ventilation A1 - Levitzky, Michael G. PY - 2017 T2 - Pulmonary Physiology, 9e AB - The reader understands the ventilation of the alveoli. Defines alveolar ventilation.Defines the standard lung volumes and understands their measurement.Predicts the effects of alterations in lung and chest wall mechanics, due to normal or pathologic processes, on the lung volumes.Defines anatomic dead space and relates the anatomic dead space and the tidal volume to alveolar ventilation.Understands the measurement of the anatomic dead space and the determination of alveolar ventilation.Defines physiologic and alveolar dead space and understands their determination.Predicts the effects of alterations of alveolar ventilation on alveolar carbon dioxide and oxygen levels.Describes the regional differences in alveolar ventilation found in the normal lung and explains these differences.Predicts the effects of changes in lung volume, aging, and disease processes on the regional distribution of alveolar ventilation.Defines the closing volume and explains how it can be demonstrated.Predicts the effects of changes in pulmonary mechanics on the closing volume.
