conductance /con·duc·tance/ (kon-duk´tans) the capacity for conducting or ability to convey. Symbol G.
airway conductance the reciprocal of airway resistance; the airflow divided by the mouth-to-alveoli pressure difference.
con·duc·tance (k n-d k tns)n. 1. A measure of a material's ability to conduct electric charge; the reciprocal of the resistance. 2. The ease with which a fluid or gas enters and flows through a conduit, air passage, or respiratory tract. |
conductance
ability to conduct or transmit, as electricity or other energy or material; in studies of respiration, an expression of the amount of air reaching the alveoli per unit of time per unit of pressure, the reciprocal of resistance.
