Q. No.Lungs are made up of air-filled sacs, the alveoli. They do not collapse even after forceful expiration, because of:

2. Tidal Volume
3. Expiratory Reserve Volume
4. Residual Volume

Identify the wrong statement with reference to transport of oxygen:
| 1. | Partial pressure of CO2 can interfere with O2 binding with haemoglobin. |
| 2. | Higher H+ concentration in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin. |
| 3. | Low pCO2 in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin. |
| 4. | Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is mainly related to partial pressure of O2. |

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 |
