    I. MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS:
    1. The partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli of the lungs is
    (a) equal to that in the blood
    (b) more than that in the blood
    (c) less than that in the blood
    (d) less than that of carbon dioxide
    2. Name the chronic respiratory disorder caused mainly by cigarette smoking.
    (a) Respiratory acidosis
    (b) Respiratory alkalosis
    (c) Emphysema
    (d) Asthma
    3. People who have migrated from the planes to
    an area adjoining Rohtang Pass about six months back

    haemoglobin has a lower binding affinity to O 2
    (b) are not physically fit to play games like football
    (c) suffer from altitude sickness with symptoms like nausea, fatigue, etc.
    (d) have the usual RBC count but their
    haemoglobin has very high binding affinity to O2
    4. A large proportion of oxygen remains unused in the human
    blood even after its uptake by the body tissues. This O 2
    (a) acts as a reserve during muscular exercise
    (b) raises the Pco 2 of blood to 75 mm of Hg.
    (c) is enough to keep oxyhaemoglobin saturation at 96%

    most of us in regard to breathing, by making a conscious effort?
    (a) One can breathe out air totally without oxygen.
    (b) One can breathe out air through Eustachian tube by closing both nose an
    d mouth.
    (c) One can consciously breathe in and breathe out by moving the diaphrag
    m alone, without moving the ribs at all.
    (d) The lungs can be made fully empty
    by forcefully breathing out all air from them.

    he lungs as
    (a) attached to haemoglobin
    (b) dissolved in the blood
    (c) as bicarbonates
