The trachea divides into a right and a left primary bronchus at the level of:
1. | 2nd thoracic vertebra | 2. | 3rd thoracic vertebra |
3. | 5th thoracic vertebra | 4. | 12th thoracic vertebra |
Consider the following two statements:
I: | The lungs are situated in the thoracic chamber which is anatomically an air-tight chamber. |
II: | This arrangement is essential as we cannot directly alter the thoracic volume. |
1. | Both I and II are correct and II correctly explains I |
2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
3. | I is correct and II is incorrect |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
Regarding pulmonary capacities, the maximum volume of air a person can breathe in after a forced expiration can also be defined as:
1. | Total volume of air a person can inspire or expire after a normal inspiration or expiration |
2. | Volume of air that will remain in the lungs after a normal expiration |
3. | Maximum volume of air a person can breathe out after a forced inspiration |
4. | Total volume of air accommodated in the lungs at the end of a forced inspiration |
Which of the following will not be equal in normal physiological conditions?
1. | Partial pressure of oxygen in deoxygenated blood and partial pressure of oxygen in tissues |
2. | Partial pressure of carbon dioxide in alveoli and partial pressure of carbon dioxide in oxygenated blood |
3. | Partial pressure of oxygen in oxygenated blood and partial pressure of oxygen in alveoli |
4. | Partial pressure of carbon dioxide in tissues and partial pressure of carbon dioxide in deoxygenated blood |
The binding of oxygen with hemoglobin is primarily related to:
1. | Partial pressure of carbon dioxide |
2. | Partial pressure of oxygen |
3. | H+ ion concentration in body fluids |
4. | Presence of 2,3-DPG in erythrocytes |
Under normal physiological conditions, what amount of oxygen is delivered to the tissues?
1. | 4 ml | 2. | 5 ml |
3. | 15 ml | 4. | 20 ml |
Identify the incorrect statement regarding the enzyme carbonic anhydrase:
1. | RBCs contain a very high concentration of this enzyme |
2. | The enzyme is absent in the plasma |
3. | It facilitates the reaction catalyzed in both directions |
4. | It is a metalloenzyme |
Pneumotaxic center:
1. | moderates the function of the rhythm center |
2. | establishes the respiratory rhythm |
3. | is located in medulla oblongata |
4. | reduces the duration of expiration and thereby alters the respiratory rate |
Pulmonary fibrosis is a pathological hallmark of:
1. Chronic obstructive lung disease
2. Bronchial asthma
3. Viral Pneumonia in children
4. Occupational lung diseases
