Popis: This chapter presents various problem sets related to airway resistance and alveolar gas exchange, which include the approximate area for gas exchange, assuming that the alveoli are spheres, the typical diameter of an alveolus being 0.3 mm, and the number of alveoli in the lungs being 300 х 10 6 ; and the calculation of the overall airway resistance if the airflow is about 0.5 L s –1 and the pressure driving airflow is about 1 mmHg.
