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 |
During summer sleep and winter sleep in frogs, the gaseous exchange takes place:
1. Across the alveoli in the lungs.
2. Through the moist buccal mucosa.
3. In the gills.
4. Through the skin.
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.
During deglutition, the food is prevented from entering into the larynx by the cartilaginous:
1. epiglottis | 2. glottis |
3. aryepiglottic fold | 4. laryngeal prominence |
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 |
1. | Lower invertebrates like sponges, coelenterates, flatworms, etc., exchange O2 with CO2 by simple diffusion over their entire body surface. |
2. | Earthworms use their moist cuticle as respiratory surface. |
3. | Insects have a network of tubes (tracheal tubes) to transport atmospheric air within the body. |
4. | All vertebrates use lungs as respiratory organs. |
I: | divides into two principal bronchi at the level of 7th thoracic vertebra. |
II: | is invested by incomplete cartilaginous rings in its wall. |
