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?

    59000
1. A – Alveolar cavity – main site of exchange of respiratory gases
2. D – Capillary wall – exchange of Oand 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
