Does decreased lung volume affect alveolar or arteriolar vessels?
Decreased lung volumes constricts arteriolar vessels Increases arteriolar resistance.
Does increased lung volume affect alveolar or arteriolar vessels?
Increased lung volume increases alveolar resistance. High lung volume decrease airway resistance. Increase elastic resistance.

Which infection is common in upper lobes of lung?
Tuberculosis. oxygen loving bacteria.
During inspiration and expiration how do alveoli & pulmonary vessels react?
Inspiration= pulm. vessels constrict. Alveoli enlarge. Expiration= pulm. vessels dilate. Alveoli shrink. Vessel dilate to fill blood with oxygen that is coming later.
What does a perfusion defect that is not anatomically matched by ventilation defect indicate?
Blood flow obstruction i.e. pulmonary embolism. Perfusion defect only = PE
Ventilation defect that is anatomically matched by perfusion defect indicates what?
