When studying the pulmonary ventilation values, the reduction of forced expiratory volume has been detected. What is the likely cause of this phenomenon?
- A. Obstructive pulmonary disease
- B. Increase of inspiratory reserve volume
- C. Increase of functional residual lung capacity
- D. Increase of respiratory volume
- E. Increase of pulmonary residual volume
Hint
Ask what slows the rate at which air can leave the lungs during a forced expiration, and remember that some changes in lung volumes are consequences rather than causes.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
