2.
(a), (b) and (d)
3.

4.

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. |
The Total Lung Capacity (TLC) is the total volume of air accommodated in the lungs at the end of forced inspiration.
This includes:
| 1. | RV; IC (Inspiratory Capacity); EC (Expiratory Capacity); and ERV |
| 2. | RV; ERV; IC and EC |
| 3. | RV; ERV; VC (Vital Capacity) and FRC (Functional Residual Capacity) |
| 4. | RV (Residual Volume); ERV (Expiratory Reserve Volume); TV (Tidal Volume); and IRV (Inspiratory Reserve Volume) |
Match the following columns and select the correct option:
| Column I | Column II | ||
| (a) | Pneumotaxic Centre | (i) | Alveoli |
| (b) | O2 Dissociation curve | (ii) | Pons region of the brain |
| (c) | Carbonic Anhydrase | (iii) | Haemoglobin |
| (d) | Primary site of exchange of gases | (iv) | R.B.C. |
| Options: | (a) | (b) | (c) | (d) |
| 1. | (i) | (iii) | (ii) | (iv) |
| 2. | (ii) | (iii) | (iv) | (i) |
| 3. | (iii) | (ii) | (iv) | (i) |
| 4. | (iv) | (i) | (iii) | (ii) |
The maximum volume of air a person can breathe in after a forced expiration is known as:
1. Expiratory Capacity
2. Vital Capacity
3. Inspiratory Capacity
4. Total Lung Capacity
Select the correct statement:
| 1. | Expiration occurs due to external intercostal muscles. |
| 2. | Intrapulmonary pressure is lower than atmospheric pressure during inspiration. |
| 3. | Inspiration occurs when atmospheric pressure is less than intrapulmonary pressure. |
| 4. | Expiration is initiated due to the contraction of the diaphragm. |
Transport of gases in alveoli takes place by:
| 1. Active transport | 2. Passive transport |
| 3. Simple diffusion | 4. None of the above |
The partial pressures (in mm Hg) of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) at alveoli (the site of diffusion) are :
1. pO2 = 95 and pCO2 = 40
2. pO2 = 159 and pCO2 = 0.3
3. pO2 = 104 and pCO2 = 40
4. pO2 = 40 and pCO2 = 45
Select the favorable conditions required for the formation of oxyhemoglobin at the alveoli.
1. High pO2, high pCO2, less H+, higher temperature
2. Low pO2, low pCO2, more H+, higher temperature
3. High pO2, low pCO2, less H+, lower temperature
4. Low pO2 high pCO2 more H+, higher temperature
Due to increasing air-borne allergens and pollutants, many people in urban areas are suffering from respiratory disorder causing wheezing due to:
| 1. | reduction in the secretion of surfactants by pneumocytes |
| 2. | benign growth on mucous lining of nasal cavity |
| 3. | inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles |
| 4. | proliferation of fibrous tissues and damage of the alveolar walls |
