When we breath in, we inhale many gases, including oxygen. What happens to the gases that the body cannot use?
1. They are absorbed into the digestive system and used to create energy
2. They circulate through the body and are disposed off later
3. They are changed into oxygen by the lungs
4. They are exhaled

 A large proportion of oxygen is let unused in the human is left unused in the human blood even after its uptake by the body tissues. This O2 :
1. Helps in releasing more O2 to the epithelial tissues
2. Is enough to keep oxyhaemoglobin saturation at 96%
3. Raises pCO2 of blood to 75 mm Hg
4. Acts as a reserve during muscular exercise

Which of the following is true for Bohr effect?
1. All the factors that shift the oxygen haemoglobin dissociation curve to the right increase Bohr effect
2. The overall result of Bohr effect is to allow greater O2 transport from lungs to tissues
3. Increase in CO2 concentration in the blood results in increased dissociation of oxyhaemoglobin
4. More than one option is correct

Read the following statements:
i. The approximate ratio of residual volume and total lung capacity is 1 : 5
ii. Haldane effect describes the dissociation of CO2 from Hb and facilitates its release into alveoli due to oxygenation of Hb
iii. Maximum CO2 is carried in the blood as NaHCO3
iv. When a plain dweller move to high altitudes (3,500 m or more), he/she will have increase in RBC production and decreased breathing rate
v. Under certain conditions, the P50 value of Hb rises, due to this the affinity of Hb of combining with O2 rises.

How many of the above statements are correct?
1. Two
2. Three
3. One
4. Four
