During a physical examination, joe learns that his resting tidal volume is 500 ml; his average resting respiratory rate is 12 breaths per minute; his total lung capacity is 6000 ml; and his anatomic dead space is 150 ml. joe's resting alveolar ventilation is
a. 72.0 l/minb. 6.0 l/minc. 4.2 l/mind. 1.8 l/mine. 0.5 l/min

Option C

Explanation:

Given -

Tidal volume is equal to ml

Average resting respiratory rate is equal to breathes per minute

Anatomic dead space volume is equal to   ml

As we know -

Resting alveolar ventilation

Where TD represents tidal volume and ADS represents Anatomic dead space volume

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

L/min

Hence, option C is correct

true, i don't really know what you're asking but from the info you provided im guessing the answer is true.
