Multiple Choice



1. The Body’s Mechanism For Conducting Air In And Out Of The Lungs Is Known As Which Of
The Following?

a. External Respiration

b. Internal Respiration

c. Spontaneous Ventilation

d. Mechanical Ventilation



ANSWER: C

The Conduction Of Air In And Out Of The Body Is Known As Ventilation. Since The Question Asks For The
Body’s Mechanism, This Would Be Spontaneous Ventilation. External Respiration Involves The Exchange
Of Oxygen (O2) And Carbon Dioxide (Co2) Between The Alveoli And The Pulmonary Capillaries. Internal
Respiration Occurs At The Cellular Level And Involves Movement Of Oxygen From The Systemic Blood
Into The Cells.



Dif: 1 Ref: Pg. 3



2. Which Of The Following Are Involved In External Respiration?

a. Red Blood Cells And Body Cells

b. Scalenes And

Trapezius Muscles

c. Alveoli And

Pulmonary Capillaries

d. External Oblique And

Transverse Abdominal

Muscles

, 3




ANSWER: C

External Respiration Involves The Exchange Of Oxygen And Carbon Dioxide (Co2) Between The Alveoli
And The Pulmonary Capillaries. Internal Respiration Occurs At The Cellular Level And Involves
Movement Of Oxygen From The Systemic Blood Into The Cells.

Scalene And Trapezius Muscles Are Accessory Muscles Of Inspiration. External Oblique And Transverse
Abdominal Muscles Are Accessory Muscles Of Expiration.




Dif: 1 Ref: Pg. 3



3. The Graph That Shows Intrapleural Pressure Changes During Normal Spontaneous Breathing
Is Depicted By Which Of The Following?
a.

b.

c.

d.



ANSWER: B

During Spontaneous Breathing The Intrapleural Pressure Drops From About -5 Cm H2o At End-
Expiration To About -10 Cm H2o At End-Inspiration. The Graph Depicted For Answer B Shows That
Change From -5 Cm H2o To -10 Cm H2o.



Dif: 1 Ref: Pg. 4



4. During Spontaneous Inspiration Alveolar Pressure (Pa) Is About:
