I think he has given good explanation in his Audios.

Try the Medicine Books Either Davidson or Parveen Kumar or Cecil

Yes that V/Q Match Thingy Wht He is looking for is the A-a Gradient and its Implications Which is very much well related to it. But Deductions have to be made on that topic there are so far not much clear things as Goljan has given but AS Always to go thru Path U need to go thru Physio first.
