This document provides 130 well-organized exam questions with correct answers for Exam 4 of the PCB 3703 – Human Physiology course, tailored to the 2025/2026 academic year. The content is formatted in a clear Q&A style, making it an excellent tool for targeted revision and practice. The material extensively covers critical areas of physiology including the respiratory system (lung mechanics, gas exchange, surfactant, control of breathing, and diseases like asthma, COPD, and fibrosis), gastrointestinal physiology (motility, secretions, digestive enzymes, GI hormones like gastrin, secretin, and CCK), acid-base balance (metabolic/respiratory acidosis and alkalosis), and pharmacology (action and purpose of drugs like Prednisone, Cimetidine, Loperamide, and Azathioprine). It also integrates key clinical applications such as neonatal distress syndrome, gastric reflux, and inflammatory bowel diseases. Ideal for students in biology, health sciences, biomedical sciences, pre-nursing, pre-med, and related programs. This document also serves as a valuable resource for exam preparation for MCAT, HESI, TEAS, and USMLE Step 1, offering a complete and up-to-date review of essential physiology concepts. Keywords: physiology exam, respiratory system, gas exchange, lung volumes, GI tract, digestive hormones, CCK, secretin, acid-base regulation, metabolic disorders, asthma, COPD, fibrosis, gastric secretions, clinical pharmacology, MCAT prep, nursing physiology, TEAS exam, HESI practice, USMLE Step 1

Answers | New Update



Where does gas exchange occur in the lungs? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔alveoli


What is the volume left in the lungs after normal expiration - 🧠ANSWER

✔✔Functional residual capacity


The sum of what adds up to Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) -

🧠ANSWER ✔✔residual volume (RV) and expiratory reserve volume (ERV)


Define Tidal Volume (TV) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Volume inspired and expired in

a normal breath

,Sum of what adds up to Inspiratory capacity - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔tidal volume

(TV) and inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)

The sum of what adds up to Vital Capacity (VC) or Forced Vital Capacity

(FVC) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔tidal volume (TV), inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)

and expiratory reserve volume (ERV)

How is most of the carbon dioxide in the blood carried? - 🧠ANSWER

✔✔bicarbonate


Where in the brain is breathing controlled? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔medulla

oblongata

Metabolic alkalosis includes the increase of bicarbonate concentration in

the blood; true or false? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔true


What is HCl secreted by? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔parietal cells in the walls of

fundus and corpus


What is pepsinogen secreted by? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔chief cells of the

stomach


Most GI reabsorption occurs in? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔small intestine


What does intrinsic factor do? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Carries B12

, Where is intrinsic factor secreted? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔fundus of the stomach


Oral glucose causes what to be secreted? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔GIP - glucose-

dependent insulinotropic peptide (also known as gastric inhibitory

polypeptide)


What does the drug Cimetidine do? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Blocks H receptors -
