Which of the following is the action of the parasympathetic system on the heart?
a. Vasodilates the coronary arteries
b. Negative Chronotropic effects
c. Positive ionotrophic effects

FEVI/ FVC ratio is 90% with hypoxemia what does it indicate?
A. Normal respiratory status
B. Obstructive lung disease
C. Restrictive lung disease
D. Cannot determine the respiratory status

They have trouble getting air in so the FEVI/FVC ratio would be normal or higher. Since there is difficulty getting air in, there is a decreased surface area for gas exchange, therefore hypoxemia
