The given graph shows the pulmonary volumes of a healthy man recorded on spirometer.
Which of the following would be correct?
1. D can be exhaled only after maximum expiratory efforts
2. The value of B will be different for inhalation and exhalation
3. The amount of air remaining in lungs after a normal exhalation is C + D
4. Total lung capacity cannot be calculated from this graph as it includes residual volume

Identify the wrong statement with reference to the transport of oxygen.
1. | Partial pressure of CO2 can interfere with O2 binding with haemoglobin. |
2. | Higher H+ conc. in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin. |
3. | Low pCO2 in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin. |
4. | Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is mainly related to partial pressure of O2. |
