Most of the aquatic arthropods respire through:
1. diffusion over entire body surface | 2. gills |
3. tracheae and tracheoles | 4. skin |
Branchial respiration is seen in all the following except:
1. Aquatic arthropods | 2. Fishes |
3. Amphibians like frog | 4. Aquatic mollusks |
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.
I: | Lower invertebrates like sponges, coelenterates and flatworms exchange oxygen with carbon dioxide by simple diffusion over their entire body surface. |
II: | Fishes are the only vertebrates that do not use lungs as respiratory organs. |
1. | Only I is correct | 2. | Only II is correct |
3. | Both I and II are correct | 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
I: | divides into two principal bronchi at the level of 7th thoracic vertebra. |
II: | is invested by incomplete cartilaginous rings in its wall. |
Incomplete cartilaginous rings are seen in the walls of all the following except:
1. Trachea | 2. Primary bronchus |
3. Tertiary bronchus | 4. Respiratory bronchiole |
A minimal amount of pleural fluid present in the pleural cavity:
1. | provides a medium for the exchange of respiratory gases |
2. | reduces friction between the visceral and parietal pleurae |
3. | provides lubrication for movements of the diaphragm |
4. | permits the exchange of electrolytes during respiration |
Statement I: | The outer pleural membrane is in close contact with the thoracic lining. |
Statement II: | The inner pleural membrane is in contact with the lung surface. |
Statement III: | The part starting with the external nostrils up to the terminal bronchioles constitutes the respiratory or exchange part of the respiratory system. |
Statement IV: | The alveoli and their ducts form the conducting part of the respiratory system. |
1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct; Statement III is correct; Statement IV is correct |
2. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect; Statement III is incorrect; Statement IV is incorrect |
3. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct; Statement III is incorrect; Statement IV is incorrect |
4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect; Statement III is correct; Statement IV is correct |
