A relatively large but interesting chapter.
Question Pattern
This is a relatively vast and busy chapter with multiple discrete concepts.
See if you can make yourself familiar with stuff like
- Surfactatnt
- Compliance
- V/Q ratio
- PFT in different conditions
- Lung capacities, calculation
- O2 dissociation curve
- Respiratory centres
Chemoreceptors has been a very high-yield area.
