Consider the two statements:
Statement I: The vital capacity (VC) of the lungs is equal to the sum of the tidal volume (TV), the inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), and the expiratory reserve volume (ERV).
Statement II: Mathematically, FRC can be represented as: FRC = RV + ERV
 
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
3. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct

Which of the following correctly describes one of the pulmonary volumes?
1. Tidal Volume (TV) is the total volume of air that can be exhaled after normal inhalation.
2. Residual Volume (RV) is the amount of air left in the lungs after a forceful exhalation.
3. Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) is the volume of air inhaled during a normal breath.
4. Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) is the maximum volume of air that can be inhaled after a normal exhalation.

Emphysema and asthma both affect the lungs but differ in that:
1. Asthma is characterized by excessive mucus production while emphysema involves the destruction of alveoli.
2. Emphysema is an acute response to allergens, whereas asthma is a chronic condition.
3. Asthma can be cured by medication, while emphysema is irreversible.
4. Emphysema results from allergic reactions, while asthma results from long-term exposure to pollutants.

What does a right shift in the oxygen dissociation curve of hemoglobin indicate about the physiological conditions?
1. Decreased oxygen affinity, indicating conditions such as a lower pH, a higher temperature, or  increased levels of CO2.
2. Increased oxygen affinity, indicating conditions such as a higher pH, a lower temperature, or decreased levels of CO2.
3. Decreased temperature and CO2 levels, leading to a reduced ability of hemoglobin to release oxygen to tissues.
4. Increased hemoglobin saturation with oxygen at lower partial pressures, indicating hyperventilation.
