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 |
What is true about RBCs in humans?
| 1. | They carry about 20-25 per cent of CO2 |
| 2. | They transport 99.5 per cent of O2 |
| 3. | They transport about 80 per cent oxygen only and the rest 20 per cent of it is transported in dissolved state in blood plasma |
| 4. | They do not carry CO2 at all |
The majority of carbon dioxide produced by our body cells is transported to the lungs:
| 1. | dissolved in the blood |
| 2. | as bicarbonates |
| 3. | as carbonates |
| 4. | attached to haemoglobin |
Haemoglobin is:
| 1. | An oxygen carrier in human blood |
| 2. | A protein used as a food supplement |
| 3. | An oxygen scavenger in root nodules |
| 4. | A plant protein with high lysine content |
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 |
Lungs are made up of air-filled sacs, the alveoli. They do not collapse even after forceful expiration, because of:
1. Inspiratory Reserve Volume
2. Tidal Volume
3. Expiratory Reserve Volume
4. Residual Volume
Alveoli are the primary sites of exchange of gases \(O_2\) and \(CO_2\) are exchanged in these sites by simple diffusion which is mainly based on
| 1. | Pressure concentration which is mainly based on |
| 2. | Solubility of gases |
| 3. | Thickness of membranes |
| 4. | All of these |
Mark the factors which are favourable for the formation of oxyhaemoglobin at the level of alveoli
i. High
ii. Lesser concentration
iii. Low
iv. Low temperature
1. (i), (ii) & (iv)
2. (i), (ii) & (iii)
3. (ii), (iii) & (iv)
4. (i), (ii), (iii) & (iv)
Which respiratory centre primarly limits inspiration?
| 1. | Dorsal respiratory group of neutrons |
| 2. | Ventral group of neutrons |
| 3. | Pneumotaxic centre |
| 4. | Apneustic centre |
The majority of carbon dioxide produced by our body cells is transported to the lungs
| 1. | Dissolved in the blood. |
| 2. | As bicarbonates. |
| 3. | As carbonates |
| 4. | Attached to haemoglobin |
