  2. Necromorph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necromorph

    The Necromorphs first appear in the 2008 Dead Space comic book series, the inaugural release of the multimedia Dead Space franchise which was published between March and August 2008. They are highly aggressive reanimated undead creatures which originate from the strange powers exhibited by alien artifacts known as the Markers emitted through ...

  3. Dead space (physiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_space_(physiology)

    Total dead space (also known as physiological dead space) is the sum of the anatomical dead space and the alveolar dead space. Benefits do accrue to a seemingly wasteful design for ventilation that includes dead space. [1] Carbon dioxide is retained, making a bicarbonate-buffered blood and interstitium possible.

  4. Zones of the lung - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zones_of_the_lung

    They become alveolar dead space. Zone 2 is the part of the lungs about 3 cm above the heart. In this region blood flows in pulses. At first there is no flow because of obstruction at the venous end of the capillary bed. Pressure from the arterial side builds up until it exceeds alveolar pressure and flow resumes.

  5. USG Ishimura - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USG_Ishimura

    The USG Ishimura is a fictional spacecraft from the Dead Space franchise of survival horror video games developed by Visceral Games.Known as a "planet-cracker" in-universe, the mining vessel serves as the setting of the 2008 Dead Space and its 2023 remake after its crew recovers an alien artifact on the planet Aegis VII, which transforms them into undead creatures called Necromorphs.

  6. Dead Space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Space

    A prequel to Dead Space 2 released in 2010, Dead Space Ignition is an action puzzle video game which follows Franco Delille, an engineer who witnesses the initial Necromorph outbreak on the Sprawl. The ending of Ignition directly sets up the opening of Dead Space 2 , where Delille is ordered to find and free Isaac Clarke from an EarthGov asylum ...

  7. Bohr equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_equation

    The only source of CO 2 is the alveolar space where gas exchange with blood takes place. Thus the alveolar fractional component of CO 2, F A, will always be higher than the average CO 2 content of the expired air because of a non-zero dead space volume V d, thus the above equation will always yield a positive number.

  8. Ventilation–perfusion coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation–perfusion...

    Dead space refers to the volume not taking part in gas exchange. [11] Alveolar dead space and insufficient perfusion result in a V/Q ratio above 0.8 with decreased fresh oxygen in the alveoli. [1] This might have been caused by blood clotting, heart failure, pulmonary emphysema, or damage in alveolar capillaries. [12]

  9. VD/VT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VD/VT

    In medicine, the ratio of physiologic dead space over tidal volume (V D /V T) is a routine measurement, expressing the ratio of dead-space ventilation (V D) to tidal ventilation (V T), as in physiologic research or the care of patients with respiratory disease. [1]
