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.

Ref: Pg. 2

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
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.

Ref: Pg. 2

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.

Ref: Pg. 3

4. During Spontaneous Inspiration Alveolar Pressure (Pa) Is About: .
a. 1 Cm H2o
B. +1 Cm H2o
c. 0 Cm H2o
d. 5 Cm H2o
ANSWER: A
1 Cm H2o Is The Lowest Alveolar Pressure Will Become During Normal Spontaneous
Ventilation. During The Exhalation Of A Normal Spontaneous Breath The Alveolar Pressure
Will Become +1 Cm H2o.

Ref: Pg. 4

5. The Pressure Required To Maintain Alveolar Inflation Is Known As Which Of The
Following?
a. Transairway Pressure (Pta)
b. Transthoracic Pressure (Ptt)
c. Transrespiratory Pressure (Ptr)
d. Transpulmonary Pressure (Pl)
ANSWER: D
