The majority of carbon dioxide produced by our body cells is transported to the lungs:
1. dissolved in the blood
2. as bicarbonates
3. as carbonates
4. attached to haemoglobin

Consider the following statements:

Which of the above statements are true?

Name the pulmonary disease in which alveolar surface area involved in gas exchange is drastically reduced due to damage in the alveolar walls.
1. Pleurisy
2. Pneumonia
3. Emphysema
4. Asthma

The figure shows a diagrammatic view of human respiratory system with labels A, B, C and D. Select the option, which gives correct identification and main function and/or characteristic.
  

Which one of the following statements is incorrect?
1. The residual air in lungs slightly decreases the efficiency of respiration in mammals
2. The presence of non-respiratory air sacs increases the efficiency of respiration in birds
3. In insects, circulating body fluids serve to distribute oxygen to tissues
4. The principle of counter current flow facilitates efficient respiration in gills of fishes

Which of the following match is correct?
1. Emphysema : reduction of surface area of alveoli and bronchi
2. Pneumonia : occupational disease with asbestos
3. Silicosis : inflammation of alveoli
4. Asthma : excessive secretion of bronchial mucus

When a man inhales air containing normal concentration of O₂ as well as CO he suffers from suffocation because
1. CO reacts with ${\mathrm{O}}_2$, reducing its percentage in air
2. haemoglobin combines with CO instead of ${\mathrm{O}}_2$ and forms carboxyhaemoglobin
3. CO affects diaphragm and intercostal muscles
4. CO affects the nerves of the lungs

Respiration is controlled by
1. medulla oblongata
2. cerebellum
3. hypothalamus
4. cerebrum

Chemosensitive area of respiratory centre medulla is affected by
1. less ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ and ${\mathrm{H}}^{+}$ ions
2. less ${\mathrm{O}}_2$ and ${\mathrm{H}}^{+}$ ions
3. excess ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ and H+ ions
4. excess ${\mathrm{O}}_2$ and H+ ions.

Oxygen binding to haemoglobin in blood is
