Hello,
The following question was in AAMC bio qpack 1:
What is the net volume of fresh air that enters the alveoli each minute, assuming that the breathing rate is 10 breaths/min, the tidal volume is 800 mL/breath, and the nonalveolar respiratory system volume (dead space) is 150 mL?
65 mL
95 mL
6500 mL
7850 mL
I looked at the medreels explaining this problem and I understand how to do it but I was wondering if there were any other concepts or formulas related to lung volume such as residual volume, vital capacity etc, that we should be familiar with for the mcat.
Thanks!
