Question
Chapter 17, Problem 20RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The definition of the terms: pneumothorax, spirometer, auscultation, hypoventilation, bronchoconstriction, minute volume, the partial pressure of the gas.
Introduction: When air enters the body, it moves from trachea to bronchi. When air enters the lungs, lungs show expansion. Air reaches the alveoli and gaseous exchange takes place at alveoli.
