(b) | O2 dissociation curve | (ii) | Pons region of the brain |
(c) | Carbonic anhydrase | (iii) | Haemoglobin |
(d) | Primary site of exchange of gases | (iv) | R.B.C. |
(a) | (b) | (c) | (d) | |
1. | (i) | (iii) | (ii) | (iv) |
2. | (ii) | (iii) | (iv) | (i) |

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. |
Column I | Column II | ||
a. | Tidal volume | (i) | 2500-3000 mL |
b. | Inspiratory Reserve | (ii) | 1100-1200 mL |
