Consider the given two statements:
| Assertion: | It is important that the anatomical setup of lungs in thorax is such that any change in the volume of the thoracic cavity will be reflected in the pulmonary cavity. |
| Reason: | We cannot directly alter the pulmonary volume. |
| 1. | Assertion is true but Reason is false |
| 2. | Both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason correctly explains the Assertion |
| 3. | Both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason does not correctly explain the Assertion |
| 4. | Assertion is false but Reason is true |
| 1. | IRV + ERV + TV | 2. | IRV + ERV |
| 3. | IRV + ERV + TV + RV | 4. | IRV + ERV + TV - RV |
| (A) | Diffusion of gases (O2 and CO2) across alveolar membrane |
| (B) | Diffusion of O2 and CO2 between blood and tissues |
| (C) | Transport of gases by the blood |
| (D) | Pulmonary ventilation by which atmospheric air is drawn in and CO2 rich alveolar air is released out |
| (E) | Utilisation of O2 by the cells for catabolic reactions and resultant release of CO2 |
| 1. | (D), (A), (C), (B), (E) | 2. | (C), (B), (A), (E), (D) |
| 3. | (B), (C), (E), (D), (A) | 4. | (A), (C), (B), (E), (D) |
| Statement I: | Humans breathe by negative pressure. |
| Statement II: | The respiratory center is directly affected by low oxygen levels. |
Favourable conditions for the oxygenation of haemoglobin at alveoli include all the following except:
1. High pO2
2. Low pCO2
3. Low pH
4. Low temperature
| 1. | increases the diameter of thorax in dorso-ventral axis and brings about inhalation |
| 2. | decreases the diameter of thorax in dorso-ventral axis and brings about exhalation |
| 3. | increases the diameter of thorax in antero-posterior axis and brings about inhalation |
| 4. | decreases the diameter of thorax in antero-posterior axis and brings about exhalation |
| Assertion (A): | The amount of CO2 that can diffuse through the diffusion membrane per unit difference in partial pressure is much higher compared to that of O2. |
| Reason (R): | Haemoglobin does not play any role in the transport of carbon dioxide in human blood. |
| 1. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
| 1. | Bronchial asthma | 2. | Emphysema |
| 3. | Tuberculosis | 4. | Pneumonia |
| 1. | Functional residual capacity | 2. | Vital capacity |
| 3. | Expiratory reserve volume | 4. | Residual volume |
