If a patient's chest barely moves during inhalation, even if the
patient's respiratory rate is normal, you should suspect that:
minute volume is decreased
Large amounts of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are generated
when:
the cells function with adequate oxygen
Pathophysiology is the study of the functional changes that occur
when the body reacts to a particular:
