(iii) Expulsion of air from high pressure to low pressure
(iv) Decrease in volume of pulmonary cavity
1. i ii iii iv
2. iv i iii ii
3. ii iv i iii

In the human body, CO2 is primarily carried in blood as
1. Dissolved in plasma
2. Carbaminohaemoglobin
3. Sodium bicarbonate
4. Potassium carbonate
Emphysema is a chronic disorder, it leads to
(1) Loss of elasticity of walls of bronchioles and
alveoli
(2) Surface area of exchange of gases is
increased
(3) Alveolar sacs become empty even after
expiration
(4) Exhalation becomes easier during inflation of
lungs
The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the pulmonary artery is
1. More than that in tissues
2. Equal to that in systemic arteries
3. Less than that in alveoli
4. Equal to that in the systemic vein
