Statement I: | The partial pressure of oxygen is equal in alveoli and oxygenated blood. |
Statement II: | The partial pressure of carbon dioxide is equal in alveoli and deoxygenated blood. |
Assertion (A): | O2 gets bound to haemoglobin in the lung surface and gets dissociated at the tissues. |
Reason (R): | In the alveoli, there is high pO2, low pCO2, lesser H+ concentration and lower temperature whereas in the tissues, low pO2, high pCO2, high H+ concentration and higher temperature exist. |
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 |
1. | 95 | 2. | 75 |
3. | 27 | 4. | 15 |
a. | pCO2 is high and pO2 is low |
b. | dissociation of CO2 from carbamino-haemoglobin takes place |
c. | pCO2 is low and pO2 is high |
d. | more binding of carbon dioxide to haemoglobin occurs |
I: | A chemosensitive area is situated adjacent to the rhythm centre which is highly sensitive to CO2 and hydrogen ions. |
II: | Receptors associated with aortic arch and carotid artery can recognise changes in O2 concentration and send necessary signals to the rhythm centre for remedial actions. |
III: | The role of oxygen in the regulation of respiratory rhythm is most significant. |
