| 1. | They carry about 20-25 percent of |
| 2. | They transport 99.5 percent of |
| 3. | They transport about 80 percent oxygen only and the rest 20 percent of it is transported in a dissolved state in blood plasma |
| 4. | They do not carry at all |

Identify the wrong statement with reference to the transport of oxygen.
| 1. | Partial pressure of CO2 can interfere with O2 binding with haemoglobin. |
| 2. | Higher H+ conc. in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin. |
| 3. | Low pCO2 in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin. |
| 4. | Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is mainly related to partial pressure of O2. |
Why would hemoglobin deliver oxygen to the tissues?
1. oxygen concentration of tissue fluid is lower
2. carbon dioxide concentration of tissue fluid is lower
3. carbon dioxide concentration of tissue fluid is higher
4. the oxygen concentration of blood is lower
What is the state that describes the hemoglobinic acid?
| 1. | oxidized | 2. | hydrated |
| 3. | reduced | 4. | hyper |
The respiratory system does not:
1. allow oxygen from the air to enter the blood and carbon dioxide to leave the blood and enter the air.
2. alter the pH by changing oxygen levels.
3. provide protection against some microorganisms by preventing their entry into the body and by removing them from respiratory surfaces.
4. allow for speech and sound generation.
The diffusion of gases in lungs occur across the respiratory membrane. Which of the following is incorrect regarding the respiratory membrane?
1. it is the only barrier between the blood and the inhaled gases within each alveolus
2. basement membranes of alveolar type I cells and their adjacent capillaries are fused
3. oxygen cannot diffuse through the membrane and so must be actively transported
4. carbon dioxide diffuses across the membrane from the blood into the alveolar lumen
Oxygenated blood through the tissues of the lungs is carried by:
1. pulmonary and bronchial veins
2. pulmonary and bronchial arteries
3. pulmonary veins and bronchial arteries
4. pulmonary arteries and bronchial veins
Which of the following options correctly represents the lung conditions in asthma and emphysema, respectively?
1. Inflammation of bronchioles; decreased respiratory surface
2. Increased number of bronchioles; increased respiratory surface
3. Increased respiratory surface; inflammation of bronchioles
4. Decreased respiratory surface; inflammation of bronchioles

Asthma may be attributed to?
1. allergic reaction of the mast cells in the lungs
2. inflammation of the trachea
3. accumulation of fluid in the lungs
4. bacterial infection of the lungs
