Biology
1 answer:
Alla [95]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

PVR is calculated by the formulae:  \text{Mean PVR}=\frac{\text{mean PAP-PAOP}}{\text{CO}} \times80

Explanation:

Pulmonary vascular resistance may be defined as the resistance to blood through the pulmonary circulation.  

PVR can be determined by the following formula:

\text{Mean PVR}=\frac{\text{mean PAP-PAOP}}{\text{CO}} \times80

Here, PAP is the pulmonary artery pressure, PAOP is pulmonary artery occlusion pressure and CO is cardiac output.

Relate the surface area of a cell to the transport of materials.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

If the size of a cell increases it will be more difficult (all other things being equal) for diffusion to transport materials out of the cell. Therefore, less of the cell's interior will be able to come in contact with the cell's surface. If less of it comes in contact, less of it can cross the cell membrane.

hope this helps and please mark me as brainliest please
