Q.2
Identify the wrong statement with reference to transport of oxygen [NEET 2020]
0%
a) Higher H+ conc. in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin
0%
b) Low pCO2 in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin
0%
c) Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is mainly related to partial pressure of O2
0%
d) Partial pressure of CO2 can interfere with O2 binding with haemoglobin
Explanation
n the alveoli, where there is high pO2, low pCO2, lesser H+ concentration and lower temperature, the factors are all favourable for the formation of oxyhaemoglobin. whereas in the tissues, where low pO2, high pCO2, high H+ concentration and higher temperature exist, the conditions are favourable for dissociation of oxygen from the oxyhaemoglobin Answer : (a)
Q.3
Select the correct events that occur during inspiration. (a) Contraction of diaphragm (b) Contraction of external inter-costal muscles (c) Pulmonary volume decreases (d) Intra pulmonary pressure increases [NEET 2020]

0%
b) only (d)
0%
c) (a) and (b)
0%
d) (c) and (d)
Explanation
During inspiration, the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles contract, causing the rib cage to expand and move outward, and expanding the thoracic cavity and lung volume. This creates a lower pressure within the lung than that of the atmosphere, causing air to be drawn into the lungs. Answer : (c)

Q.8
Which is correct ? [ MPPMT 1993 ]
0%
a) Respiratory centres are not affected by CO2
0%
b) In humans vital capacity is just double the expiratory volume
0%
c) A human lung has 103 alveoli
0%
d) During inspiration the lungs acts as suction pump
Explanation
The respiratory center (RC) is located in the medulla oblongata and pons, in the brainstem. The depth of inhalation depends on how fast the respiratory centre of the medulla stimulates the respiratory muscles. On increase of CO2 rate of respiration becomes fast thus option (a) false Vital capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after a maximum inhalation. It is equal to the sum of inspiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, and expiratory reserve volume. A normal adult has a vital capacity between 3 and 5 litres. Expiratory reserve volume :the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after normal exhalation or in simple terms it is the additional air that is forcibly exhaled after exhalation of normal tidal volume. Its value in healthy adults is 1.0 litre in men and 0.7 litres in women. Thus option ‘b’ false approximately 300 million alveoli were found in human lungs option ‘c’ false Duringinspiration the diaphragm contracts downward, creating a vacuum that causes a rush of fresh air into the lungs option ‘d’ correct Answer : (d)

Q.25
Gases diffuse over the respiratory surface because of ... [ Manipal 2002 ]
0%
a) pO2 is more in alveoli than in blood
0%
b) pO2 is more in blood than in tissues
0%
c) pCO2 is more in alveoli than in blood
0%
d) pCO2 is more in blood than in tissues
Explanation
diffusion is a movement of atoms or molecules from high concentrated ( or higher pressure) region to low concentration ( or lower pressure) region, no external source of energy is used respiratory surface, also known as the respiratory membrane, includes the alveolar epithelial cells as well as the pulmonary capillary endothelial cells. Thus diffusing gas should have more pressure. Now when oxygen enters in the blood then pressure of oxygen must be more in blood than alveoli And CO2 moves out of blood, pressure of CO2 must be more in blood than alveoli. Tissues consume oxygen and produce CO2 and it is waste product of tissue. Concentration of CO2 is always more in tissue than blood Answer : (a)

c) Osmosis
0%
d) Diffusion/ simple diffusion
Explanation
Passive transport is a movement of ions and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes without need of energy input. Unlike active transport, it does not require an input of cellular energy because it is instead driven by the tendency of the system to grow in entropy. Active transport the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration, assisted by enzymes and requiring energy. Osmosis a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one. diffusion is a movement of gaseous atoms or molecules from high concentrated ( or higher pressure) region to low concentration ( or lower pressure) region, no external source of energy is used respiratory surface, also known as the respiratory membrane, in which gases molecules are exchanged Answer : (d)

0%
a) Frog and earthworm
0%
b) Fish and Frog
0%
c) Fish and Earthworm
0%
d) Leech and earthworm
Explanation
The frog has three respiratory surfaces on its body that it uses to exchange gas with the surroundings: the skin, in the lungs and on the lining of the mouth. While completely submerged all of the frog's respiration takes place through the skin. In most fish respiration takes place through gills. Whale, dolphin and Lungfish, however, possess one or two lungs. The labyrinth fish have developed a special organ that allows them to take advantage of the oxygen of the air, but is not a true lung. Leech and earthworm breathe through a gas exchange through their skin. This occurs using areas of the body cavity known as capillary beds. Gas exchange occurs between the capillary beds of the body surface and the environment. Oxygen is carried by the respiratory pigment hemoglobin, which is dissolved in the fluid portion of the blood. Answer : (d)

a) Neck
0%
b) Diaphragm
0%
c) Tongue
0%
d) Epiglottis
Explanation
The epiglottis moves back and forth to prevent the passage of food and liquids into the lungs. The usual upright position of the epiglottis allows air to flow into the lungs and the larynx. When you swallow, the epiglottis flattens backward to cover the entrance to your larynx and prevent food from entering the lungs and windpipe.

c) Diaphragm and external intercostal muscles contract
0%
d) Diaphragm and external intercostal muscles relax
Explanation
The contraction of the external intercostal muscles causes an elevation of the ribs (inspiratory breathing muscles) whereas both the internal and innermost intercostal muscles lower the ribs (expiratory breathing muscles).
