1.
which of the following?
a. External respiration
b. Internal respiration
c. Spontaneous ventilation
d. Mechanical ventilation
ANS: C
The conduction of air in and out of the body is known as ventilation. Since the
ventilation. External respiration involves the exchange of oxygen (O 2) 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
ANS: C
External respiration involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO 2)
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.
ANS: 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:
.
a. - 1 cm H2O
b. + 1 cm H2O
c. 0 cm H2O
d. 5 cm H2O
ANS: 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.
DIF: 1 REF: pg. 3
5. The pressure required to maintain alveolar inflation is known as which of the
following?
a. Trans airway pressure (PTA )
