Assertion (A): | It is essential for breathing that the anatomical setup of lungs in thorax is such that any change in the volume of the thoracic cavity will be reflected in the lung (pulmonary) cavity. |
Reason (R): | We cannot directly alter the pulmonary volume. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
I: | transports the atmospheric air to the alveoli |
II: | clears inhaled air from foreign particles |
III: | humidifies and also brings the air to body temperature |
IV: | is the site of actual diffusion of O2 and CO2 between blood and atmospheric air |
I: | Oxygen rich blood returns from the lungs to the heart through the pulmonary arteries. |
II: | Oxygen poor blood leaves the heart and goes to the lungs through the pulmonary veins. |
1. | Inspiratory Reserve Volume + Expiratory Reserve Volume |
2. | Inspiratory Reserve Volume - Expiratory Reserve Volume + Residual volume |
3. | Functional Residual Capacity + Tidal Volume |
4. | Total Lung Capacity – Residual volume |
1. | Total volume of air a person can inspire after a normal expiration. |
2. | Volume of air that will remain in the lungs after a normal expiration. |
3. | Total volume of air a person can expire after a normal inspiration. |
4. | The maximum volume of air a person can breathe in after a forced expiration |
1. | Contraction of diaphragm and contraction of external intercostal muscles |
2. | Relaxation of diaphragm and contraction of external intercostal muscles |
3. | Contraction of diaphragm and contraction of internal intercostal muscles |
4. | Relaxation of diaphragm and contraction of internal intercostal muscles. |
1. | Relaxation of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles |
2. | Contraction of the diaphragm and relaxation of intercostal muscles |
3. | Contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, decreasing thoracic volume |
4. | Contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, increasing thoracic volume |
Which of the following will bring about inhalation in human beings?
I. Contraction of diaphragm
II. Contraction of internal intercostals
III. Contraction of external intercostals
1. | Only I and II | 2. | Only I and III |
3. | Only II and III | 4. | I, II and III |
Lungs are made up of air-filled sacs, the alveoli. They do not collapse even after forceful expiration, because of
1. Residual Volume (RV)
2. Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
3. Tidal Volume (TV)
4. Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
I: | at alveoli |
II: | between blood and tissues |
