, SECTION 1: BASIC TERMS AND CONCEPTS
OF MECHANICAL VENTILATION (Questions 1-
40)
Question 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) Spontaneous ventilation
Rationale: The conduction of air in and out of the
body is known as ventilation. Since the question
2
,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 .
Question 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) Alveoli and pulmonary capillaries
Rationale: External respiration involves the
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the
alveoli and the pulmonary capillaries. Scalenes and
trapezius muscles are accessory muscles of
inspiration. External oblique and transverse
abdominal muscles are accessory muscles of
expiration .
Question 3
During spontaneous inspiration, alveolar pressure
(P_A) is approximately:
A) -1 cm H₂O
B) +1 cm H₂O
