Psychology Question:
Concerning the flow rate of air into or out of the lungs:
Answer:
* a) The greater the effort of inspiration, the greater the flow rate
* b) The greater the effort of expiration, the greater the flow rate, particularly at low lung volumes.
* c) Expired air flows fastest at lung volumes near residual volume.
* d) The greatest overall resistance to airflow occurs at the level of the narrowest bronchioles.
* e) Radial traction increases the resistance to airflow during inspiration.
