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 |
1. | reduce the blood supply to the brain |
2. | decrease the affinity of hemoglobin with oxygen |
3. | lead to release of bicarbonate ions by the liver |
4. | reduce the rate of heartbeat |
Name the pulmonary disease in which alveolar surface area involved in gas exchange is drastically reduced due to damage in the alveolar walls.
1. | Pleurisky | 2. | Emphysema |
3. | Pneumonia | 4. | Asthma |
Approximately seventy percent of carbon dioxide absorbed by the blood will be transported to the lungs:
1. | as bicarbonate ions |
2. | in the form of dissolved gas molecules |
3. | by binding to R.B.C |
4. | as carbamino-haemoglobin |
The figure shows a diagrammatic view of the human respiratory system with labels A, B, C, and D. Select the option that gives the correct identification, main function, and/or characteristics:
1. | B-pleural membrane- surrounds ribs on both sides to provide cushion against rubbing. |
2. | C-alveoli-thin walled vascular bag-like structures for the exchange of gases. |
3. | D-lower end of the lungs-diaphragm pulls it down during inspiration. |
4. | A trachea-long tube supported by complete cartilaginous rings for conducting inspired air. |
Which one of the following is the correct statement for respiration in humans?
1. | Cigarette smoking may lead to inflammation of the bronchi |
2. | Neural signals from the pneumotaxic centre in the pons region of the brain can increase the duration of inspiration |
3. | Workers in grinding and stone-breaking industries may suffer from lung fibrosis |
4. | About 90% of carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried by haemoglobin as carbaminohaemoglobin |
