when carbon dioxide levels in the blood increase; the
a. condition is called hypocapnia
b. pH of the blood increases
c. blood becomes more acidic
d. number of hydrogen ions in the blood decreases
e. blood becomes more alkaline
blood becomes more acidic
after hyperventilating for several minutes, a person may develop short periods of apnea because
a. blood pH would drop and inhibit inspiration
b. oxygen in the lungs has not had time to diffuse into the blood
c. the level of oxygen has increased and inhibits the inspiratory center
d. the level of CO2 decreases below the level necessary to stimulate the inspiratory center
e. blood pH will rise and stimulate expiration
the leve of CO2 decreases below the level necessary to stimulate the inspiratory center
blood oxygen levels
a. are more important than carbon dioxide levels in the regulation of respiration
b. need to change only slightly to cause a change in respiration rate
c. within the normal PO2 range have little effect on regulation
d. in venous blood and arterial blood are about the same
e. never change enough to influence respiration
within the normal PO2 range have little effect on regulation of respiration
the major regulator of respiration is the plasma concentration of
a. oxygen
b. carbon dioxide
c. water vapor
d. nitrogen
e. chloride
carbon dioxide
a greater than normal amount of CO2 in the blood is called
a. hypercapnia
b. hypoxia
c. hyperdioxemia
d. hypodioxemia
hypercapnia
the Hering-Breuer reflex
a. causes erratic respirations
b. helps prevent overinflation of the lungs
c. has its sensory components in the sympathetic nerves
d. is a normal response to increased oxygen content in the blood
e. limits how much air a person can expire
helps prevent overinflation of the lungs
during exercise, ventilation initially increases due to
a. increased blood carbon dioxide levels stimulating baroreceptors
b. decreased blood oxygen levels stimulating chemoreceptors
c. decreased blood pH levels stimulating baroreceptors
d. limb movements that stimulate the respiratory center
e. abrupt changes in metabolism or blood gases
limb movements that stimulate the respiratory center
the highest level of exercise that can be performed without causing a significant change in blood pH is called the
a. Hering-Breuer reflex
b. aerobic threshold
c. anaerobic threshold
d. lactic acid tolerance level
anaerobic threshold
which of the following is NOT a respiratory adaptation to exercise training
a. vital capacity increase
b. tidal volume at maximal exercise will increase
c. increased minute ventilation after training
d. after training, respiratory rate at rest is lower
increased minute ventilation after training
which of the following is mismatched
a. bronchitis - inflammation of the bronchi
b. emphysema - destruction of the alveolar walls
c. pulmonary fibrosis - loss of elastic recoil in the lung
d. cystic fibrosis - replacement of lung tissue with fibrous connective tissue
e. smokers - chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
cystic fibrosis - replacement of lung tissue with fibrous connective tissue
a respiratory disease characterized by decreased chloride ion diffusion out of cells and dehydrated respiratory secretions is
a. bronchitis
b. emphysema
c. cystic fibrosis
d. pulmonary fibrosis
e. lung cancer
cystic fibrosis
a patient has severe pneumonia, which has thickened the respiratory membrane. despite oxygen therapy, he still has rapid respiration and feels as if he is not getting enough air. this is because
a. the oxygen increases the stimulation of the carotid and aortic bodies
b. the oxygen stimulates the respiratory center to increase the respiratory rate
c. his blood pH increased and stimulated an increase in his respiratory rate
d. even though he is receiving enough oxygen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions accumulate in his blood and cause the respiratory rate to continue to increase
e. oxygen cannot diffuse across the thickened membrane
even though he is receiving enough oxygen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions accumulate in his blood and cause the respiratory rate to continue to increase
which of the following is an effect of aging on the respiratory system
a. vital capacity is unchanged
b. minute ventilation rates increase
c. residual volume increases
d. gas exchange in the lungs remains unchanged
residual volume increases
