MULTIPLE CHOICE b




1. The body’s mechanism for conducting air in and out of the lungs is

The conduction of air in and out of the body is known as ventilation.
b b b b b b b b b b b b b




Since the question asks for the body’s mechanism, this would be
b b b b b b b b b b b




spontaneous ventilation. External respiration involves the exchange
b b b b b b b




of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) between the alveoli and the
b b b b b b b b b b b b




pulmonary capillaries. Internal respiration occurs at the cellular
b b b b b b b b




level and involves movement of oxygen from the systemic blood into
b b b b b b b b b b b




the cells.

DIF: 1 REF: pg. 3 b b




2. Which of the following are involved in external respiration?
b b b b b b b b




a. Red blood cells and body cells b b b b b




b. Scalenes and trapezius b b




muscles
c. Alveoli and pulmonary b b




capillaries
d. External oblique and b b




transverse abdominal muscles b b

3. The graph that shows intrapleural pressure changes during
b b b b b b b




normal spontaneous breathing is depicted by which of the
b b b b b b b b b




following?
b




a.

ANS: B 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

.
a. - 1 cm H2O b b b




b. +1 cm H2O b b b




c. 0 cm H2O b b




d. 5 cm H2O b b




ANS: A b




-1 cm H2O is the lowest alveolar pressure will become during normal

spontaneous ventilation. During the exhalation of a normal
