The work of breathing__________________?
Correct answer: C. is inversely related to lung compliance
- A. is not affected by respiratory
- B. remains constant during exercise
- C. is inversely related to lung compliance
- D. decreased in lying posture
Explanation
When lung compliance is low, greater pressure and muscular effort are needed to produce the same tidal volume, so the elastic work of breathing rises. Thus work of breathing is inversely related to compliance.
