A condition in which a person's airways become inflamed, narrow, swell and produce extra mucus, which makes it difficult to breathe is known as
| 1. | Asthma |
| 2. | Emphysema |
| 3. | Chronic bronchitis |
| 4. | Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease |
Consider the following statements:
| I: | The diffusing capacity of CO2 across the respiratory membrane is higher than that of O2 |
| II: | The presence of Hb increases the efficiency of O2 transport by about 10 times. |
| III: | Carbon monoxide binds to Hb with much more tenacity with respect to O2 |
Which of the above statements are true?
| 1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
| 3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II, and III |
Lungs do not collapse between breaths and some air always remains in the lungs which can never be expelled because?
| 1. | there is a negative pressure in the lungs |
| 2. | there is a negative intrapleural pressure pulling at the lung walls |
| 3. | there is a positive intrapleural pressure |
| 4. | pressure in the lungs is higher than the atmospheric pressure |
In the given diagram of the oxygen dissociation curve, under normal physiological conditions, the partial pressure of oxygen at the tissue level is represented by :
1. A
2. B
3. C
4. D
Branchial respiration is seen in all the following except:
| 1. Aquatic arthropods | 2. Fishes |
| 3. Amphibians like frog | 4. Aquatic mollusks |
At 40 mmHg of partial pressure of oxygen haemoglobin is ______ saturated
1. 50 %
2. 75 %
3. 85 %
4. 35 %
| 1. | 50 % | 2. | 75 % |
| 3. | 95 % | 4. | 99 % |
| Assertion (A): | Conducting part transports the atmospheric air to alveoli, clears it from foreign particles, humidifies it and also brings the air to body temperature. |
| Reason (R): | The part of the respiratory system starting with the external nostrils upto terminal bronchioles constitutes the conducting part, whereas the alveoli from respiratory part. |
| 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. |
