Q. No.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 |
When you hold your breath, which of the following gas changes in blood would first lead to the urge to breathe?
1. Falling O2 concentration
2. Rising CO2 concentration
3. Falling CO2 concentration
4. Rising CO2 and falling O2 concentration
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 |
Two friends are eating together at a dining table. One of them suddenly starts coughing while swallowing some food. This coughing would have been due to improper movement of:
| 1. | diaphragm | 2. | neck |
| 3. | tongue | 4. | epiglottis |
The figure given below shows a small part of the human lung where exchange of gases takes place. In which one of the options given below, the one part A, B, C or D is correctly identified along with its function?
| 1. | A – Alveolar cavity – main site of exchange of respiratory gases |
| 2. | D – Capillary wall – exchange of O2 and CO2 takes place here |
| 3. | B – Red blood cell – transport of CO2 mainly. |
| 4. | C – Arterial capillary – passes oxygen to tissues |
A large proportion of oxygen is left unused in the human blood even after its uptake by body tissues. This O2:
1. raises the Pco2 blood to 75 mm of Hg
2. is enough to keep oxyhaemoglobin
3. helps in releasing more O2 to the epithelial tissues
4. acts as a reserve during muscular exercise
Bulk of carbon dioxide (CO2) released from body tissues into the blood is present as:
1. carbaminohaemoglobin in RBCs
2. bicarbonate in blood plasma and RBCs
3. free CO2 in blood plasma
4. 70% carbaminohaemoglobin and 30% as bicarbonate
Which one of the following is a possibility for most of us in regard to breathing, by making a conscious effort?
| 1. | The lungs can be made fully empty by forcefully breathing out all air from them |
| 2. | One can breathe out air totally without oxygen |
| 3. | One can breathe out air through Eustachian tubes by closing both the nose and the mouth. |
| 4. | One can consciously breathe in and breathe out by moving the diaphragm alone, without moving the ribs at all. |
