AIRWAY RESISTANCE Q. 1 Reynolds number describes the relationship between all of the following, EXCEPT: A Viscosity of fluid B Density of fluid C Velocity of flow D Direction of flow Q. 1 Reynolds number describes the relationship between all of the following, EXCEPT: A Viscosity of fluid B Density of fluid C Velocity of […]
AIRWAY RESISTANCE AIRWAY RESISTANCE Airway resistance not seen with small airways – Due to its very large total cross-sectional area. Large-sized blood vessels too wider to offer airway resistance. Airway resistance seen mainly in medium-sized (2-4-mm diameter) – Major site of airway resistance. Determinants of airway resistance: Major physical determinants: 1. Radius of airway: Radius
