A person has a normal exhalation. Which of the following would be true at the end of this effort?
1. The pressure of the intrapleural cavity is the same as atmospheric pressure
2. The alveolar pressure is less than atmospheric pressure
3. The tendency for the lungs to recoil to an unstretched state is balanced by the tendency of the chest wall to expand
4. Alveolar pressure minus intrapleural pressure is zero

Given are the results of a pulmonary function test of a normal healthy male:
A. A resting tidal volume of 500 ml.
B. An anatomic dead space of 150 ml.
C. Breathing rate of 10 breaths/minute.
D. A total lung capacity of 6000ml.
E. A residual volume of 1000ml.
Which of the following statements is correct?
1. His alveolar ventilation would be 6.5 L/minute
2. Doubling the breathing rate would double his alveolar ventilation
3. Doubling the depth of respiration (tidal volume would double his alveolar ventilation)
4. His vital capacity is 5500ml
The total volume of the conducting airways from the nose or mouth down to the level of the terminal bronchioles [about 150ml] which is not capable of exchanging gases with the blood, is referred to as
1. Physiological dead space
2. Anatomical dead space
3. Alveolar dead space
4. Respiratory zone dead space
