During normal quiet breathing, approximately 750 ml of air moves into and out of the lungs with each breath.

FALSE

The average individual has 500 ml of residual volume.

FALSE

The most important chemical stimuli leading to increased rate and depth of breathing is:

Hydrogen and carbon dioxide concentration of blood

Unlike inspiration, experiation is a passive act because no muscular contractions are involved. Expiration, however, depends on two factors. Which of the choices below lists those two factors?

The recoil of elastic fibers that were stretched during inspiration and the inward pull of surface tension due to the film of alveolar fluid.

Which of the following statements is true regarding the respiratory rate of a newborn?

The respiratory rate of a newborn is, at its highest rate, approximately 40-80 respirations per minute

Inspiratory capacity is:

The total amount of air that can be inspired after a tidal expiration

Tidal volume is air:

exchanged during normal breathing

As carbon dioxide enters systemic blood, it causes more oxygen to dissociate from hemoglobin (the Haldane effect), which in turn allows more CO2 to combine with hemoglobin and more bicarbonate ions to be generated (the Bohr effect).

false

In chronic bronchitis, mucus production is decreased and this leads to the inflammation and fibrosis of the mucosal lining of the bronchial tree.

false

Increased temperature results in decreased O2 unloading from hemoglobin.

false

The Hering-Breuer reflex is a potentially dangerous response that may cause overinflation of the lung.

false

The largest amount of carbon dioxide is transported in the bloodstream in the form of carbonic anydrase.

false

Air moves out of the lungs when the pressure inside the lungs is:

greater than the pressure in the atmosphere

The most powerful respiratory stimulus for breathing in a healthy person is

increase of carbon dioxide

The amount of air that can be inspired above tidal volume is called?

inspiratory reserve

Surfactant helps to prevent the alveoli from collapsing by:

interfering with the cohesiveness of water molecules, thereby reducing the surface tension of alveolar fluid

Respiratory control centers are located in the:

medulla and pons

number of red blood cells

In the plasma, the quantity of oxygen in solution is:

The relationship between gas pressure and gas volume is described by:

Boyle's law

TRUE

Intrapleural pressure is normally about 4 mm Hg less than the pressure in the alveoli.

TRUE

Labored breathing is termed dyspnea.

TRUE

The alveolar ventilation rate is the best index of effective ventilation.

TRUE

ventilation perfusion coupling means that more blood flows past functional alveoli than past non-functional.

b.as the direct initiator of the cough reflex

Select the correct statement about the physical factors influencing pulmonary ventilation. a.A decrease in compliance causes an increase in ventilation b.A lung that is less elastic will require less muscle action to perform adequate ventilation c.As alveolar surface tension increases, additional muscle action will be required d.Surfactant helps increase alveolar surface tension

c. As alveolar surface tension increases, additional muscle action will be required
