Lungs are made up of air-filled sacs, the alveoli. They do not collapse even after forceful expiration, because of:

1. Inspiratory Reserve Volume

2. Tidal Volume

3. Expiratory Reserve Volume

4. Residual Volume

Identify the wrong statement with reference to transport of oxygen:

1. Partial pressure of CO2 can interfere with O2 binding with haemoglobin.
2. Higher H+ concentration in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
3. Low pCO2 in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
4.  Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is mainly related to partial pressure of O2.

Lungs do not collapse between breaths and some air always remains in the lungs which can never be expelled because?

1. there is a negative pressure in the lungs
2. there is a negative intrapleural pressure pulling at the lung walls
3. there is a positive intrapleural pressure
4. pressure in the lungs is higher than the atmospheric pressure
