Regarding the chemical regulation of respiration in humans:
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.
1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only II and III are incorrect
3. I, II and III are incorrect
4. Only I and III are correct

Consider the two statements:
Statement I: The alveoli have ciliated cells in them to help expel dust particles that make it this far down into the respiratory tract.
Statement II: Gas exchange between the lungs and the blood, and between the blood and tissue fluid, is an active transport process.

1. Statement I is correct: Statement II is incorrect
2. Statement I is incorrect: Statement II is correct
3. Statement I is correct: Statement II is correct
