2. 350 ml
3. 500 ml

Why is oxygen transport affected in carbon monoxide poisoning?
1. More carbonic acid will be produced, and the hemoglobin will give up more oxygen to the tissue.
2. Hemoglobin will bind to less oxygen, and hemoglobin will not release as much oxygen to the tissue.
3. Carbon monoxide makes hemoglobin give up oxygen more readily in the tissues.
4. Carbon monoxide ties up hemoglobin's ability to bind to oxygen, but more hemoglobin will be produced, so no decline in oxygen in the tissue will be noticed.
The dorsal respiratory group of the respiratory center in the brain stem stimulates:
| 1. external intercostals | 2. internal intercostals |
| 3. diaphragm | 4. rectus abdominus |
Condition of the body in which the tissues are starved of oxygen is called as:
| 1. apnea | 2. hypocapnia |
| 3. hypoxia | 4. hypercapnia |
Some pathogens can reach the alveoli, they can still be destroyed by:
1. macrophages in the pulmonary lymph nodes
2. NK cells in the elastic tissues of the lungs
3. cytotoxic T-lymphocytes
4. alveolar macrophages
A minimal amount of pleural fluid present in the pleural cavity:
| 1. | provides a medium for the exchange of respiratory gases |
| 2. | reduces friction between the visceral and parietal pleurae |
| 3. | provides lubrication for movements of the diaphragm |
| 4. | permits the exchange of electrolytes during respiration |
