Assertion (A): | The part of the respiratory system starting with the external nostrils upto terminal bronchioles constitutes the conducting part, whereas the alveoli from respiratory part. |
Reason (R): | Conducting part transports the atmospheric air to alveoli, clears it from foreign particles, humidifies it and also brings the air to body temperature. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Statement I: | Each haemoglobin molecule can carry a maximum of four molecules of O2. |
Statement II: | Hemoglobin can bind to four molecules of CO2. |
I: | A chemosensitive area is situated adjacent to the rhythm centre which is highly sensitive to CO2 and hydrogen ions. |
II: | Receptors associated with aortic arch and carotid artery can recognise changes in O2 concentration and send necessary signals to the rhythm centre for remedial actions. |
III: | The role of oxygen in the regulation of respiratory rhythm is most significant. |
Statement I: | The alveoli have ciliated cells in them to help expel dust particles that make it this far down into the respiratory tract. |
Statement II: | Gas exchange between the lungs and the blood, and between the blood and tissue fluid, is an active transport process. |
Statement I: | The pO2 of the blood normally has no direct effect on respiration. |
Statement II: | The pO2 of the oxygenated blood is higher than the pO2 of the alveolar air. |
Statement I: | Carbon dioxide and oxygen compete for binding sites with the hemoglobin. |
Statement II: | Oxygen dissociates faster from hemoglobin during exercise. |
