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 |
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 |
Branchial respiration is seen in all the following except:
1. Aquatic arthropods | 2. Fishes |
3. Amphibians like frog | 4. Aquatic mollusks |
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 |
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
At 40 mmHg of partial pressure of oxygen haemoglobin is ______ saturated
1. 50 %
2. 75 %
3. 85 %
4. 35 %
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. |
