Rapid inspiratory flows cause aerosol particles to deposit higher in the respiratory tract.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rapid inspiratory flows result in higher deposition of aerosol particles in the respiratory tract due to inertial impaction, which causes larger particles to impact on airway walls rather than following the airflow. This phenomenon is more prominent in the upper respiratory tract, leading to higher deposition at these sites.
