so v/q is normally .8: 4/5 = .8
since exercise increases cardiac output that seems like it would increase Q causing the mismatch to get farther away from one rather then closer to 1 (example: 4/8 = .5)
what am i missing
also is the reason why O2 helps when v/q is undefined because it goes to parts of the lung where percussion can happen?
