Rationale for change
The respiratory physiology page for AMBOSS states, "the apical lung segments have higher O2 partial pressures because the perfusion in these lung segments is lower than the ventilation and thus less O2 diffuses from the alveoli into the bloodstream" This card says zone 1 has the highest PaO2 (arterial oxygen), which is wrong because it will have the lowest PaO2, but it will have the highest Po2/PAO2 (alveolar oxygen). The extra section of this card also talks about increasing Po2 (which is correct), not PaO2.

In order of increasing Po2 (mmHg) and decreasing Pco2 (mmHg)
1. Mixed venous blood
2. Zone 3 (lowest V/Q)
3. Zone 2 (medium V/Q)
4. Zone 1 (highest V/Q)
