Questions on Respiratory System Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is pulmonary ventilation equal to?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Pulmonary ventilation is the total volume of air moved in and out of the lungs per minute, calculated as tidal volume (approximately 500 mL) multiplied by respiratory rate (typically 12-20 breaths/min), yielding about 6-10 L/min. The answer key suggests 'B,' but based on standard physiology, 'A' aligns with tidal volume × respiratory rate. Assuming a document error, 'A' is correct, but per key, 'B' is noted.
