C) INCORRECT. Expiration is another term for exhalation,
which is the air breathed out at the
end of the breathing cycle.
D) INCORRECT. Only the first part of the breathing cycle
is called inspiration, when air is
drawn into the body.

C) INCORRECT. The total volume of air moved in one
in-and-out cycle of breathing is called
the tidal volume.
D) CORRECT. Air that occupies the space between the
mouth and alveoli but that does not
actually reach the area of gas exchange is call dead air
space.

D) plasma. transportation.
C) INCORRECT. When the heart beats, the pressure cre-
ated tends to push fluid back out of the
blood vessels toward the cells and is called hydrostatic
pressure.
D) CORRECT. Carbon dioxide is dissolved in the blood
plasma and transported back to the
lungs.

C) INCORRECT. When large proteins attract water from
the spaces between the cells and back
into the bloodstream it is known as oncotic pressure.

pressure which pushes fluid back out
of the blood vessels toward the cells.
