The ventilation-perfusion ratio is the same in the lung apex and the lung base in a
standing normal person. True or False - Answer-False. In a standing normal person, the
ventilation-perfusion ratio is higher in the lung base compared to the lung apex. This is
due to the effects of gravity, which leads to better ventilation at the base of the lungs
where perfusion is also relatively higher.
Vital Capacity is comprised of all of the following volumes EXCEPT:
Residual Volume
Tidal Volume
Inspiratory reserve volume
