Factors Affecting Pulmonary Ventilation
{"Image DocumentName": "Factors Affecting Pulmonary Ventilation", "Image ImageDescription": "Airway Resistance. Opposition to air flow in the respiratory passageways. Resistance and air flow are inversely related. \u2191 airway resistance = \u2193 air flow (and vice versa) Airway resistance is most affected by changes in the diameter of the bronchioles. \u2193 diameter of the bronchioles = \u2191 airway resistance. Examples: Asthma. Bronchiospasm during an allergic reaction. A high resistance to air flow produces a greater energy cost of breathing.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
