  • 56

    Quiet expiration is a passive process when inspiratory muscles relax and the ribcage descends due to

    Gravity

  • 57

    Quiet expiration is a passive process due to

    Elasticity of the lungs and thoracic cage

  • 58

    Forced expiration is

    An active process

  • 61

    Airway resistance is the relationship between

    Dalton's law of partial pressures

    Total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressures exerted independently by each gas in the mixture

  • 86

    Why are partial pressures important?

    They determine the rate of diffusion of gas between the blood and alveolus

  • 87

    Henry's law states that when a mixture of gases is in contact with a liquid each gas will dissolve in proportion to its:
