Which Pressure is Represented by P_rs = P_B - P_alv

Question

Which pressure is represented by Prs= PB- Palv?
A) transmural pressure
B) transpulmonary pressure
C) transthoracic pressure
D) transrespiratory pressure

Accepted Answer

Transrespiratory pressure is the difference between the pressure at the airway opening (P_B) and the alveolar pressure (P_alv).
