This gas comprises 21% of ambient air at sea level

This is where the stimulus for spontaneous ventilations originates

The amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle in 1 minute

This molecule is the way oxygen is primarily transported

This gas comprises 78% of ambient air at sea level

A gas law that states the pressure of a gas and its volume are inversely proportional

The amount of blood ejected with each contraction

This is the way carbon dioxide is transported through the body

A patient in a low oxygen environment is in danger of suffering from this type of -oxia

The active phase of ventilation in which the diaphragm contracts and the external intercostal muscles

The pressure or "load" in the left ventricle at the end of diastole

where is AMBIENT air oxygen exchanged with blood

doing this is a way to improve cellular oxygenation

This the main ventilation stimulus for COPD patients, and other patients who are less sensitive to changes in CO2

The resistance in the aorta that must be overcome by the left ventricle to eject blood into the body

Oxygen in the blood stream is exchanged in these structures for aerobic metabolism

This is the percentage of carbon dioxide in the ambient air at sea level

The usage of these muscles, which are not normally used in ventilation is usually sign of respiratory distress

The force or pressure exerted on a vessel or capillary bed by the contraction of the heart

the chemical cellular process for creating ATP
