Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A decrease of perfusion to the alveoli causes an increase in ventilation without perfusion, which is physiologic dead space. A shunt is perfusion without ventilation. Anatomic dead space is the normal amount of dead space in the body due to the conducting airways.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A is pointing to the CO2 absorber.
