Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Areas that experience higher airway pressure (e.g., during positive pressure ventilation) that equal or exceed local arteriole and capillary pressure will have reduced blood flow as a result of the opposing airway pressure (zone 1 airways).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Areas of regional lung hypoxia, as the result of reduced ventilation, congestion, and/or airway obstruction, can result in local pulmonary arterial vasoconstriction and cause blood flow to be shifted from these areas toward areas of higher O2 content and pulmonary vasodilation.
