Oxygen haemoglobin dissociation curves are represented as A and B. Select the incorrect interpretation
1. | Curve B has increased ability to unload O2 in tissues, with respect to curve A. |
2. | The shift in a curve from B to A is associated with decreased P50 value. |
3. | At elevated temperature the curve will shift from B to A. |
4. | Shift in a curve from A to B is associated with decreased O2 carrying capacity of haemoglobin. |
Read the following four statements (a-d) and select the option which includes all correct ones only :-
(a) | Exchange of O2 and CO2 at alveoli and tissue occur by active transport. |

(d) | Spirometer is unable to find out the functional residual capacity and total lung capacity. |
1. b, c and d
2. b and d
3. a, b and d
4. a, b, c and d
Mark the incorrect statement regarding the transport of gas.
1. | About 97% of O2 is transported by RBC. |
2. | Nearly 20-25% of CO2 is transported by RBC. |
3. | Every 100 ml of deoxygenated blood deliver 4 ml of CO2 to the alveoli. |
4. | Every 100 ml of oxygenated blood deliver 20 ml of O2 to the body tissues |

4. (A), (B), (C) & (D)
Select the correct statement:
1. | Expiration occurs due to external intercostal muscles. |
2. | Intrapulmonary pressure is lower than atmospheric pressure during inspiration. |
3. | Inspiration occurs when atmospheric pressure is less than intrapulmonary pressure. |
4. | Expiration is initiated due to the contraction of the diaphragm. |
Oxygen binding to haemoglobin in blood is:
1. | directly proportional to the concentration of in the medium. |
