I: | Contraction of diaphragm |
II: | Contraction of internal intercostal muscles |
III: | Contraction of external intercostal muscles |
I: | is located in the medulla oblongata. |
II: | regulates the duration of inhalation and increases respiratory rate. |
I: | Prevents Lung Collapse |
II: | Facilitates Gas Exchange |
Assertion (A): | The thoracic chamber, being airtight, is critical for breathing. |
Reason (R): | Movement of rib cage can bring about inhalation and exhalation. |
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. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
Statement I: | The respiratory membrane has one layer - the simple squamous epithelium of the alveoli. |
Statement II: | Oxygen diffuses faster from carbon dioxide across the respiratory membrane. |
Statement I: | Carbon dioxide and oxygen compete for binding sites with the hemoglobin. |
Statement II: | Oxygen dissociates faster from hemoglobin during exercise. |
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: | 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. |
