Alveolus

Which of the following cells of the alveoli produce surfactant?

Type 2 Alveolar cells

When the inhalation muscle contract...

The size of the thoracic cavity increases in length




The size of the thoracic cavity increases in diameter

Exhalation begins when

Inspiratory muscle relaxes

During the process of expiration/exhalation, the alveolar pressure is

Greater than the barometric pressure

Pulmonary surfactant acts to

-Lower the surface tension of the alveoli


-Prevent the barometric pressure


-Prevent dehydration of the alveolar surface


- Keep the alveoli from sticking together

This means the lung and chest wall expand easily

High Compliance

This part of the pharynx extends from the nasal cavity to the soft palate

nasopharynx

You are traveling in a space capsule that has lost all power to control the atmosphere. If the pressure inside the capsule is now 900mmHg and the concentration of oxygen is 20%, what would the PO2 be?

180mmHg

Given these lung volumes, calculate the vital capacity


1. Tidal volume=500ml


2. Inspiratory reserve volume=2500ml


3. Residual Volume=100ml


4. Expiratory reserve volume=100ml


5. Dead Space=100ml

4000ml



Which of the following is incorrect


-decrease surface area in the alveoli, decrease rate of gas exchange


-Increase the partial pressure differences of gases, decrease rate of gas exchange


-increase the diffusion distance across the respiratory membrane, decrease the rate of gas exchange


-Increase the partial pressure difference of gases, increase rate of gas exchange

Increase the partial pressure differences of gases, decrease rate of gas exchange

Which of the following would increase hemoglobin's ability to bind oxygen?


-decrease in temperature


-increase in blood pH


-decrease in blood CO2 concentration


-All of These

All of these

Oxygen is mostly transported in the blood

bound to hemoglobin

Most of the CO2 is transported in the blood is

in the plasma as the bicarbonate ion (HCO3)

An enzyme that speeds up the reaction of carbon dioxide and water:


CO2+H2O<-->H2CO3?

Carbonic Anhydrase

When bicarbonate ion diffuses out of red blood cells into plasma, it is usually exchanged with which ion

Chloride

The respiratory areas that controls the basic rhythm of respiration and transitions between inhalation and exhalation are located in the

pons & medulla oblongata

The chemoreceptors in the aortic and carotid bodies:


-affects the respiratory center when blood carbon dioxide levels change


-affects the respiratory center when blood pH changes


- affects the respiratory center when blood oxygen levels change


- All of these

All of these

The residual volume is the amount of air

remaining in the lungs after forced expiration

The tidal volume is

Volume of air moved in and out of the lungs in a single quiet breath

Results in the loss of cilia, increases accumulation of mucus

Whooping Cough

Results in the formation of a grayish membrane in the throat

Diphtheria
