laws

Question 1

At a constant temperature, the pressure exerted by a gas varies inversely with the volume of the gas

Answer 1

boyles law

Question 1

P=2T/r describes the relationship between alveolar radius and the tendency to collapse. A smaller alveolar radius means a higher tendency to collapse

Answer 1

law of la place

Question 2

Fick’s law of diffusion

Answer 2

Gas diffusion across a surface is inversely proportional to surface thickness and proportional to area

Question 3

The total pressure of a mixture of gases equals the sum of the partial pressures of each component gas

Answer 3

daltons law

Question 4

henrys law

Answer 4

The amount of a gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid at constant temperature is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas in equilibrium with the liquid

Question 5

haldane effect

Answer 5

As O2 is removed from Hb, Hb’s ability to pick up CO2 and CO2-generated H+ ions is increased

Question 6

bohr effect

Answer 6

The oxygen dissocation curve is shifted right due to conditions in the tissues, meaning more oxygen is released
