AB  - Learning  ObjectivesThe  student  will  be  able  to  explain  why  the  ratio  of  alveolar  ventilation  to  lung  vascular  perfusion  increases  apically  in  lungs  of  an  upright  subject.The  student  will  be  able  to  distinguish  between  the  anatomical  and  physiological  concepts  of  dead  space  and  shunt.The  student  will  be  able  to  explain  the  circumstances  that  elicit  the  acute  hypoxic  pressor  response  and  its  effect  on  pulmonary  arterial  pressure.The  student  will  be  able  to  apply  multiple  inert  gas  data  to  distinguish  normal  subjects  versus  diseased  patients  with  increased  shunt  or  dead  space.The  student  will  be  able  to  use  relevant  equations  to  estimate  alveolar  versus  dead  space  ventilations,  and  calculate  alveolar  Po2  from  patient  data.
