question
Respiratory alkalosis can occur due to the changes in respiration at high altitudes.
answer
TRUE
question
In response to moderate exercise, there is usually no change in blood gases.
answer
TRUE
question
In response to exercise, ventilation rates increase.
answer
TRUE
question
At higher altitudes, respiration rates decrease.
answer
FALSE
question
The percent oxyhemoglobin saturation increases at higher altitudes.
answer
FALSE
question

question
Amount of air left in the lungs after maximum expiration
answer

question
Sum of residual volume and expiratory reserve volume
answer

answer
decrease, increase
question
Amount of gas in the lungs after a maximum inspiration
answer
Total lung capacity
question
The amount of gas that can be expired after a maximum inhalation
answer
Vital Capacity
question
The amount of gas that can be inspired after a normal tidal expiration
answer
Inspiratory capacity
question
The amount of gas left in the lungs after a normal expiration
answer
Residual Capacity
question
Movement of Oxygen and carbon dioxide:
answer
1) The direction of gas movement is determined by partial pressure differences. 2) At the arterial end of the pulmonary capillaries, O2 diffuses from the alveoli into the blood, while CO2 diffuses from the blood into the alveoli. 3) At the arterial end of the tissue capillaries, O2 diffuses from the blood into tissue cells, while CO2 diffuses from tissue cells into the blood. 4) The partial pressure of a gas is measured in millimeters of mercury. 5) At the venous end of tissue capillaries, there is no net movement of O2 and CO2.
question
Gas Exchange during Respiration
answer
1) The direction of gas movement is determined by partial pressure differences. 2) PO2 in lung is greater than PO2 in blood; PCO2 in lung is less than PCO2 in blood 3) PO2 in blood is greater than PO2 in tissues; PCO2 in blood is less than PCO2 in tissues 4) Oxygen-poor blood is carried through systemic veins from the body tissues back to the heart.
question
When a person goes from see level to higher altitudes the percent oxygen in the atmosphere does not change
answer
It remains at 21%
question
Oxyhemoglobin in blood
answer
1) When oxygen binds to hemoglobin, it forms oxyhemoglobin. 2) The percentage of oxyhemoglobin to total hemoglobin in arterial blood is usually about 97%. 3) During the loading reaction, oxygen binds with deoxyhemoglobin. 4) Oxyhemoglobin in the veins is LOWER than in the arteries.
question
Select the phrase that best describes the way carbon dioxide is transported in the blood.
answer
1) As bicarbonate ions 2) Attached to an amino acid in the globin chain of hemoglobin; carbaminohemoglobin 3) Dissolved in blood plasma
question
Changes in the Partial Pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide
answer
1) at the arterial ends of the pulmonary capillaries, the PO2 is lower in the capillaries than in the alveoli. 2) at the venous ends of the pulmonary capillaries, the PCO2 is equal in the capillaries and in the alveoli. 3) the ranking of PO2 from highest to lowest at the arterial ends of the tissue capillaries: capillaries, tissue fluid, cells. 4) When partial pressures for a given gas are equal between the capillaries and the tissue fluids, no net movement of that gas occurs. 5) Gases diffuse because of differences in partial pressures from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure.
question
According to Dalton's Law, which of the following is the way to calculate the partial pressure of a gas?
answer
The partial pressure is equal to the percentage of the gas in the mixture multiplied by the total pressure.
question
Hypoventilation (inadequate ventilation) can result in respiratory ____________, while hyperventilation (excessive ventilation) can result in respiratory _____________.
answer
acidosis, alkalosis *Hypoventilation can cause an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the blood, resulting in a decrease in pH, which is known as acidosis. Hyperventilation can cause the opposite effect, resulting in alkalosis.
question
The superficial pleural membrane lines the inside of the thoracic wall, and is called the parietal correct pleura, while the deep pleural membrane that covers the surface of the lungs is called
answer
the visceral correct pleura.
question
According to Henry's Law, the amount of gas dissolved in a fluid (such as blood) depends on which of the following factors?
answer
1) The temperature of the fluid 2) The partial pressure of the gas 3) The solubility of the gas
question
Intrapleural and Intrapulmonary pressures
answer
1) During quiet inspiration, the intrapulmonary pressure is below atmospheric pressure. 2) During exhalation, the intrapulmonary pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure. 3) During inspiration, the intrapleural pressure is LOWER than during expiration. 4) Intrapulmonary pressure is normally HIGHER than intrapleural pressure during inspiration and expiration.
question
Blood gases, pH, and respiration.
answer
1) During hypoventilation (inadequate ventilation), the partial pressure of carbon dioxide increases. 2) During hypoventilation, pH levels decrease. 3) An increase in arterial CO2 causes a decrease in pH in the cerebrospinal fluid. 4) When pH levels decline, chemoreceptors are stimulated to decrease ventilation.
question
Change in lung volume per change in transpulmonary pressure
answer
lung compliance
question
The tendency for the lungs to return to their original size after being distended
answer
elasticity
question
Produced by type II alveolar cells; decreases tension on the surface of alveoli
answer
Pulmonary surfactant
question
Thin film of fluid in the alveolus that causes the lungs to resist distension
answer
surface tension
question
Which of the following events would occur during moderate exercise?
answer
1) The percentage of oxyhemoglobin in arterial blood remains at 97%. 2) The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve would show an increase in oxyhemoglobin saturation from the veins to the arteries. 3) The percentage of oxygen that is unloading at the tissues would increase.
