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. |

The Total Lung Capacity (TLC) is the total volume of air accommodated in the lungs at the end of forced inspiration.
This includes:
| 1. | RV; IC (Inspiratory Capacity); EC (Expiratory Capacity); and ERV |
| 2. | RV; ERV; IC and EC |
| 3. | RV; ERV; VC (Vital Capacity) and FRC (Functional Residual Capacity) |
| 4. | RV (Residual Volume); ERV (Expiratory Reserve Volume); TV (Tidal Volume); and IRV (Inspiratory Reserve Volume) |
Match the following columns and select the correct option:
| Column I | Column II | ||
| (a) | Pneumotaxic Centre | (i) | Alveoli |
| (b) | O2 Dissociation curve | (ii) | Pons region of the brain |
| (c) | Carbonic Anhydrase | (iii) | Haemoglobin |
| (d) | Primary site of exchange of gases | (iv) | R.B.C. |
| Options: | (a) | (b) | (c) | (d) |
| 1. | (i) | (iii) | (ii) | (iv) |
| 2. | (ii) | (iii) | (iv) | (i) |
| 3. | (iii) | (ii) | (iv) | (i) |
| 4. | (iv) | (i) | (iii) | (ii) |
The maximum volume of air a person can breathe in after a forced expiration is known as:
1. Expiratory Capacity
2. Vital Capacity
3. Inspiratory Capacity
4. Total Lung Capacity
Select the correct statement:
| 1. | Expiration occurs due to external intercostal muscles. |
| 2. | Intrapulmonary pressure is lower than atmospheric pressure during inspiration. |
| 3. | Inspiration occurs when atmospheric pressure is less than intrapulmonary pressure. |
| 4. | Expiration is initiated due to the contraction of the diaphragm. |
