Laws

Question 1

Boyle’s Law

Answer 1

For a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature, the volume is inversely proportional to the pressure

Question 2

Charles’ Law

Answer 2

For a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature

Question 3

Dalton’s Law

Answer 3

Each gas in a mixture contributes to the total gas pressure in proportion to its relative abundance

Question 4

Fick’s Law

Answer 4

The rate of gas transferred is proportional to the area (A),
a diffusion constant (D) and the difference in partial
pressure, and inversely proportional to the thickness

Question 5

Henry’s Law

Answer 5

At a given temperature, the amount of a particular gas in solution is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas

Question 6

Frank-starling mechanism

Answer 6

The ability of the heart to change its force of concentration, and therefore stroke volume, in response to changes in venous return

Question 7

Fick Principle

Answer 7

The total uptake (or release of) a substance by the peripheral tissue is equal to the product of the blood flow to the peripheral tissues and the arterial-venous concentration different of the substance

Question 8

For a fixed mass of gas at a constant temperature, the volume is inversely proportional to the pressure

Answer 8

Boyle’s Law

Question 9

For a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature

Answer 9

Charles’ Law

Question 10

Each gas in a mixture contribute to the total gas pressure in proportion to its relative abundance

Answer 10

Dalton’s Law

Question 11

The rate of gas transferred is proportional to the area (A),
a diffusion constant (D) and the difference in partial
pressure, and inversely proportional to the thickness

Answer 11

Fick’s Law

Question 12

At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolve in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid

Answer 12

Henry’s Law

Question 13

The ability of the heart to changes its force of contraction, and therefore stroke volume, in response to changes in venous return

Answer 13

Frank-Starling mechanism

Question 14

The total uptake of (or release of) a substance by the peripheral tissues is equal to the product of the blood flow to the peripheral tissues and the arteriole-venous concentration difference of the substance

Answer 14

Fick Principle

Question 15

Starling’s Law of the heart

Answer 15

The force of contraction is a function of the length of the muscle fibre
