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 in higher than the atmospheric pressure

The figure shows a diagrammatic view of human respiratory system with labels A, B, C

and D. Select the option, which gives correct identification and main function and/or

characteristic.

1. A-trachea-long tube supported by complete cartilaginous rings for conducting

inspired air

2. 8-pleural membrane-surround ribs on both sides to provide cushion against rubbing

3. C-alveoli-thin walled vascular bag-like structures for exchange of gases

4. D-lower end of lungs-diaphragm pulls it down during inspiration

People who have migrated from the planes to an area adjoining Rohtang Pass about six

months back

1. have more RBCs and their haemoglobin has a lower binding affinity to O2

2. are not physically fit to play games like football

3. suffer from altitude sickness with symptoms like nausea, fatigue, etc.

4. have the usual RBC count but their haemoglobin has very high binding affinuty to O2

A large proportion of oxygen is left unsused in the human blood even after its uptake by

the body tissues. This O2

1. raises the PCO2 of blood to 75 mm of Hg

2. is enough to keep oxyhaemoglobin

3. helps in relasing more O2 to the epithelial tissues

4. acts as a reserve during muscular exercise

What is true about RBCs in humans?

1. They carry about 20-25 per cent of CO2

2. They transport 99.5 per cent of O2

3. They transport about 80 per cent oxygen only and the rest 20 per cent of it is

transported in dissolved state in blood plasma

4. They do not carry CO2 at all
