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 is not a factor that affects the rate of pulmonary and systemic gas exchange. The diaphragm is primarily involved in the process of breathing, which facilitates gas exchange by creating a pressure gradient between the lungs and the surrounding environment. However, the rate of gas exchange itself depends on the factors listed in choices A-D.
