The amount of blood flow through alveoli is
200 ml/min
5000ml/min
300 ml/min
2000 ml/min
Pulmonary Capacities -
By adding up a few respiratory volumes described in the previous concept, one can derive various pulmonary capacities, which can be used in clinical diagnosis.
Alveolar Ventilation: (Tidal Volume - Dead Space) X (Respiratory Rate)
= (500 - 150) ml X (12)/min = 4200ml/min
The amount of blood flow through alveoli is 5000ml/min. Hence the correct option is b. 5000ml/minute
