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

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
