Ventilation-Perfusion Relationships O 2 enters the lung Ventilation CO 2 leaves the lung P (O 2 ) = 40 mm P (CO 2 )= 45 mm P (O 2 ) = 100 mm P (CO 2 )= 40 mm P (O 2 ) = 100 mm P (CO 2 )= 40 mm CO 2 enters the lung Respiratory Exchange Ratio Perfusion O 2 leaves the lung 8.63 R*[C A (O 2 ) - C V (O 2 )]Q = V P(CO 2 ) Increase V/Q (Shunt) : Increase P(O 2 ) / Decrease P(CO 2 ) (hypocapnia) Decrease V/Q (Ventilation Defect) : Decrease P(O 2 ) / Increase P(CO 2 ) (hypercapnia)

Heart Muscle and Control Striated (like skeltal muscle) Autorhythmic (spontaneously contract) Individual cells of cardiac muscle isolated in a saline solution beat spontaneously at random rates. Sinoatrial node "pacemaker beats faster to control heart rhythm. The primary cardiovascular control center is located in the medulla oblongata of the brain The heart is innervated by sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers. Temperature, ion concentration, and hormones affect heart rate.
