Which of the following is not a factor that the rate of pulmonary and systemic gas exchange depends on?
A) partial pressure difference of the gases
B) surface area for gas exchange
C) diffusion distance
D) molecular weight and solubility of the gases
E) force of contraction of diaphragm

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The force of contraction of the diaphragm affects ventilation, not the rate of gas exchange. Gas exchange depends on factors like partial pressure differences, surface area, diffusion distance, and properties of the gases.
