Q. No.With respect to the atmospheric air, the deoxygenated blood flowing into lung capillaries has a higher concentration of:
1. oxygen
2. both carbon dioxide and oxygen
3. carbon monoxide
4. carbon dioxide
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
Hemoglobin carrying carbon dioxide is called as:
| 1. Deoxyhemoglobin | 2. Carbaminohemoglobin |
| 3. Carboxyhemoglobin | 4. Oxyhemoglobin |
A measure of the amount of air a person inhales during a normal breath is:
| 1. inspiratory reserve volume | 2. vital capacity |
| 3. total lung capacity | 4. tidal volume |
The amount of air that remains in a person's lungs after fully exhaling is known as:
| 1. tidal volume | 2. expiratory reserve volume |
| 3. vital capacity | 4. residual volume |
Carbon dioxide is transported in blood by all the following mechanisms except:
1. bound to the protein portion of hemoglobin
2. bound to the iron atoms of hemoglobin
3. dissolved in plasma
4. as bicarbonate
The pulmonary function of a person reveals the following values:
a. tidal volume = 500 mL
b. residual volume = 1000 mL
c. inspiratory reserve volume = 2500 mL
d. expiratory reserve volume = 1000 mL
His vital capacity is
| 1. 3000 mL | 2. 3500 mL |
| 3. 4000 mL | 4. 5000 mL |
Exchange of gases occurs across the respiratory membrane. Which of the following would increase the rate of diffusion of a gas across the respiratory membrane?
| 1. | respiratory membrane becomes thicker. |
| 2. | surface area of the respiratory membrane decreases. |
| 3. | partial pressure difference of the gas across the respiratory membrane increases. |
| 4. | diffusion coefficient of the gas decreases. |
When compared with carbon dioxide, the partial pressure of oxygen in the air and its solubility in water is respectively:
| 1. lower, lower | 2. lower, higher |
| 3. greater, lower | 4. greater, higher |
Name the cavities in which the lungs are located:
1. pleural and abdominal cavities.
2. pericardial and thoracic cavities.
3. pleural and thoracic cavities.
4. pleural and pericardial cavities.
