Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The increase in airway diameter with increasing lung volume decreases airway resistance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Laminar flow is affected by gas flow, viscosity of the gas, tube radius, and length. Turbulent flow is most affected by gas density and viscosity, linear velocity, and tube radius.
