pathophysiology (Portage Learning Online)
,Expiration is an active process, whereas inspiration is largely passive.
False
Question 1
Both carbon dioxide and oxygen are able to bind with hemoglobin.
True
The rate of perfusion must exceed the rate of ventilation in order to
ensure adequate oxygenation of the blood.
False
Because of its strategic location, the larynx can be characterized as the
"watchdog of the lungs."
True
Question 2
Exercise, allergens, and emotion can all contribute to an asthma attack.
True
Nearly all pulmonary emboli are thrombi arising from deep vein
thrombosis in the upper and lower extremities.
False
,Hypoventilation is associated with
decreased PCO2.
False
Even after forced expiration,
a significant amount of air
remains in the lungs.
True
Question 3
The breathing rate is determined by input from [ ] that
monitor oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH levels in the blood.
chemoreceptors
is the genetic tendency for developing IgE mediated hypersensitivity
reactions in response to environmental allergens.
Atopy
Hemoglobin’s affinity for oxygen is increased by name one factor:
Increased pH
Question 4
, The are[ ] the actual sites of gas exchange between the air and
blood.
alveoli
The lung is the term used to describe the ease or difficulty
with which the lungs can be inflated
Compliance
A reduction in blood O2 levels is known as .
Hypoxemia
Question 5
Asthma is considered reversible airway bronchoconstriction.
True
During expiration, air moves
out of the lungs as the chest muscles
relax and the chest cavity becomes smaller.
True
During inspiration, air is drawn into
the lungs and chest cavity is decreased.
False
