Airway resistance is affected primarily by the (D) diameter of the bronchioles
REASON:
Airway resistance =Pressure difference between atmospheric and alveolar pressure(cm H2O) / Airflow(L/sec)
Factors affecting airway resistance:
Equation(i) :Flow=
=Viscosity
L = Length of the tube
r=radius of the tube
Equation(ii): Since Flow=Pressure difference between two ends of the tube / Resistance(R)
Therefore from equation (i) and (ii),it follows
R is directly proportional to and L
R is inversely proportional to
Therefore,if the radius decreases by half,keeping the other factor constant the resistance increases by 16 times.
Please explain, don't just give the answer! 28. Airway resistance is affected primarily by the A)...
