It is necessary that lungs must be present in anatomically air-tight chamber because:
1. we cannot directly alter the pulmonary volume
2. our lungs are not made of any elastic tissue
3. the pleural cavity always has a positive pressure with respect to pulmonary pressure
4. the partial pressure of oxygen in atmosphere is less than that in the alveoli

The conducting part of the human respiratory system is not involved in:
I. clearing inhaled air from foreign particles
II. humidifying the exhaled air
III. bringing the air to a temperature higher than body temperature

The major mode of transport of carbon dioxide in human body is:

The formation of oxy-hemoglobin at the alveoli is favored by all the following except:

Which of the following equations regarding the calculation of pulmonary capacities would be correct?

The partial pressure of oxygen in oxygenated blood is about:

The volume of thoracic chamber in the antero-posterior axis can be increased by:
1. Contraction of diaphragm
2. Relaxation of diaphragm
3. Contraction of external intercostals
4. Contraction of internal intercostals

The alveoli are lined with:
1. Simple cuboidal epithelium
2. Pseudo-stratified columnar ciliated epithelium
3. Transitional epithelium
4. Simple squamous epithelium

The binding of carbon dioxide to hemoglobin:
I: is related to the partial pressure of carbon dioxide
II: is affected by the partial pressure of oxygen
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect

The oxy-hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right in all the following conditions except:
