Verified 100% Correct
B. A decrease in lung compliance
An individual with pulmonary fibrosis will demonstrate:
A. An increase in lung compliance
B. A decrease in lung compliance
C. No change in lung compliance
D. An increase in chest wall compliance
E. A decrease in chest wall compliance
False
Decreased FEV1 but increased or normal FEV1/FVC
T or F
Common pulmonary function abnormalities in individuals with moderate restrictive lung disease include
decreased FEV1 and FEV1/FVC
B. Functional residual capacity
Which of the following cannot be measured using a simple spirometer?
A. Tidal volume
B. Functional residual capacity
C. Vital capacity
D. Total (minute) ventilation
E. Respiratory frequency
E. 75% decrease
If alveolar surface area is decreased by 50% and pulmonary edema leads to a doubling of diffusion
distance, how does diffusion of O2 compare with normal?
V = (A x D x (P1-P2)) / T
A. 25% increase
B. 50% increase
C. 25% decrease
D. 50% decrease
E. 75% decrease
A. The partial pressures of CO in alveolar gas and end-capillary blood will be virtually the same
, Because at the end of the capillary, CO never makes it all the way up to the alveolar gas pO2 pressure.
N2O makes it up there in the first 1/10 of the capillary
A subject inhales several breaths of a gas mixture containing low concentrations of CO and N2O. Which
of the following statements is FALSE?
A. The partial pressures of CO in alveolar gas and end-capillary blood will be virtually the same
B. The partial pressures of N2O in alveolar gas and end-capillary blood will be virtually the same
C. CO is transferred into the blood along the whole length of the capillary
D. Almost all of the N2O will be taken up in the early part of the capillary
E. The uptake of CO can be used to measure the diffusing capacity of the lung
False
Diffusion-limited
T or F
Increased distance btw the alveolus and the vasculature can result in perfusion limitation
False
Goes from 0.75 seconds normally to 0.25 seconds
T or F
During intense exercise, the transit time of blood in the pulmonary capillaries does not change from rest
True
T or F
There is one iron atom in one heme group
C. Strenuous exercise
Bc body temp increased during exercise
In the Hgb-O2 dissociation curve, a right shift would be caused by:
A. Increased pH
B. Decreased 2,3-BPG
C. Strenuous exercise
D. Fetal hemoglobin (HgF)
E. CO poisoning
True
T or F
