Here, the tidal volume V_T is 500 mL, = 0.05 atm/L, and = 0.05 atm/L² . The pressure P refers to the pressure across the lung wall, and the volume V is measured relative to the "empty" state.

3. Let's say deflation of a lung follows the path P(V)=VV(VTV) A) Find the heat generated in the lung tissue during one breathing cycle of inflation-deflation. B) If the respiration rate is 12 breaths per minute, find the average rate of heat generation. C) Describe a plausible mechanism by which the work done on the lung tissue in a cycle results in generation of heat
