| Force that causes air to move into lungs during inspiration is supplied by | D. atmospheric pressure |
| The force responsible for normal expiration is supplied by | C. elastic recoil of tissues and surface tension |
| Amount of air that enters or leaves lungs during normal respiratory cycle is | A. tidal volume |
| Enzyme carbonic anhydrase causes | A. Carbon dioxide to react w/ water |
| Which of following muscles would be most helpful for forceful expiration? | C. abdominal wall muscles |
| During forceful expiration, air that can be expelled from lungs in addition to tidal volume is called | A. expiratory reserve volume |
| Breathing rate is most likely to increase if blood concentration of | B. carbon dioxide increases |
| Microorganisms trapped in mucus of nasal cavity are most likely to be transported to | C. stomach |
| Gas exchange btwn air in alveoli and blood in nearby capillaries occurs primarily by | A. diffusion |
| Laryngitis is potentially dangerous condition bc it may cause | B. obstruction of airway |
| Condition of newborns called respiratory distress syndrome is caused by | A. lack of surfactant |
| Visceral and parietal pleural membranes are normally held together by | C. surface tension |
| Emphysema is characterized by an increase in | D. None of the above |
| Cancer that originates in lungs is most likely to develop from | A. epithelial cells |
| Procedure used to directly examine trachea and bronchial tree is called | A. bronchoscopy |
| Which of following are volumes that cannot be measured using simple spirometer? | C. Residual volume |
| CO2 is sometimes added to air that patient breathes in order to | B. increase rate and increase depth of breathing |
| Hyperventilation is most likely to be accompanied by | B. decrease in blood CO2 concentration and rise in pH |
| Internal respiration is at level of | B. cell |
| Depth of breathing is regulated by inflation reflex. Rate of breathing is regulated by chemistry of your blood as it interacts w/ | D. Medulla oblongata |
| The driving force behind gas exchange in body is | B. air pressure |
| Which is correct sequence for path of oxygen through respiratory system | D. Nasal passages, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, blood, cells |
| Carbon dioxide dissolves in blood as carbonic acid, but is so unstable it immediately breaks down into | C. bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions |
| Which of these laryngeal cartilages occurs singly rather than in pairs? | A. Cricoid |
| Pitch of vocal sound is controlled by changing | B. tension on vocal cord |
| Chemoreceptors in carotid and aortic bodies are most sensitive to changes in blood | C. oxygen concentration |
| Portion of respiratory center that is responsible for establishing basic pattern of breathing is | B. Medullary rhythmicity |
| Effects of CO2 and hydrogen ions on respiratory center are similar bc | D. CO2 combines w/ water to form carbonic acid |
| Amount of oxygen released from oxyhemoglobin increases when | B. Carbon dioxide concentration increases |
| Of respiratory air volumes listed, which one has largest volume? | C. vital capacity |
| Which of following proteins is most important physiologically in transport of CO2 by blood? | B. Carbonic anhydrase |
| Exercise can trigger symptoms of Acute Mountain Syndrome due to which of the following? | B. Low atmospheric pressure |
| The pharynx functions as a ________, whereas the larynx functions as a _______. | C. Common passageway for air and food; passageway for air only |
| Trachea can be described as | D. All of the above (A. lined w/ ciliated mucous membrane, B. including about 20 c-shaped cartilage rings, C. passageway for air) |
| Mucous membrane lining nasal cavity functions to | D. All of the above (A. warm incoming air, B. moisten incoming air, C. entrap dust and other small particles) |
| During moderate physical exercise, blood concentrations of | B. Oxygen and CO2 remain nearly unchanged |
| First event in inspiration is | A. diaphragm moves downward and external intercostals muscles contract |
| Increasing blood concentrations of CO2 and hydrogen ions have similar effects upon respiratory center due to | C. increase in CO2, thereby resulting in increase in hydrogen ions |
| When person exhales, atmospheric pressure in lungs is lower than that outside of body bc volume in lungs has decreased. This results in outside air pushing into lungs. This relationship is termed | C. Boyle's Law |
