4. less than that of carbon dioxide
1. equal to that in the blood
2. more than that in the blood
3. less than that in the blood
4. less than that of carbon dioxide
Lungs do not collapse between breaths and some air always remains in the lungs which can never be expelled because
1. there is a negative pressure in the lungs
2. there is a negative intrapleural pressure pulling at the lung walls
3. there is a positive intrapleural pressure
4. pressure in the lungs is higher than the atmospheric pressure

1. reduce the blood supply to the brain
2. decrease the affinity of hemoglobin with oxygen
3. release bicarbonate ions by the liver
4. reduce the heart rate

A large proportion of oxygen is left unsused in the human blood even after its uptake by the body tissues. This
1. raises the of blood to 75 mm of Hg
2. is enough to keep oxyhaemoglobin
3. helps in releasing more to the epithelial tissues
4. acts as a reserve during muscular exercise
What is true about RBCs in humans?
| 1. | They carry about 20-25 percent of |
| 2. | They transport 99.5 percent of |
| 3. | They transport about 80 percent oxygen only and the rest 20 percent of it is transported in a dissolved state in blood plasma |
| 4. | They do not carry at all |
