Regarding the work of breathing during quiet inspiration:

Question

TuteeHUB · Accepted Answer

airway resistance = 13%

TuteeHUB · Answer

elastic work = 80%

TuteeHUB · Answer

viscous resistance = 7%

TuteeHUB · Answer

when tidal volume versus intrapleural pressure in quiet inspiration are plotted, a straight line results

TuteeHUB · Answer

the amount of elastic work required to inflate the whole respiratory system is more than the amount required to inflate the lungs alone
