Which respiratory disorders produce an increase in dead space volume and how would this increase in dead space affect cellular respiration and metabolism?

Answer 1

eventually the alveoli in the lungs will die because of lack of oxegen cellular respiration will decrease which in turn decreases cellular metabolism and necrosis occurs.

Answer 2

Respiratory disorders such as pulmonary embolism and acute respiratory distress syndrome can increase dead space volume by impairing gas exchange in the lungs. An increase in dead space leads to a decrease in effective ventilation and can cause a mismatch between ventilation and perfusion, resulting in reduced oxygenation of blood. This can lead to impaired cellular respiration and metabolism due to a decrease in oxygen delivery to the tissues.
