Lungs do not collapse between breaths and some air always remains in the lungs which can never be expelled becauseA. there is a negative pressure in the lungsB. there is a negative intrapleurai pressure pulling at the lungs wallsC. there is a positive intrapleural pressureD. pressure in the lungs is higher than the atmospheric pressure |
Answer» Correct Answer - B Lungs do not collapse between breaths and some air always remain in the lungs, which can be never expelled, because there is a negative inrapleural pressure pulling the lung walls. Alveoli are basic funcational unit of lungs. The outer alveolar wall surface have cells, which secrets DPPC also called as lipid surfactant. The surfactant expands the alveoli. Due to which the negative pressure inside the alveoli increase. this prevents the alveoli from collapsing . |

During inspirationA. Diaphragm and external intercostal muscles relaxB. Diaphragm and internal intercostal muscles relaxC. Diaphragm and external intercostal muscles contractD. Diaphragm and internal intercostal muscles contract |
Answer» Correct Answer - C Inspiration is initiated by the contraction of diaphragm which increases the volume of thoracic chamber in the anterior-posterior axis. During inspiration diaphragm contract and become tiat. The contraction of external inter-coastal muscles lifts up the ribs and the sternum causing an increase in the volume of the thoracic chamber in the dorso-ventral axis. The overall increase in the thoracic volume causes a similar increase in pulmonary volume. An increase in pulmonary volume decreases the intra pulmonary pressure to less than the atmospheric pressure which forces the air from outside to move into the lungs, i.e. inspiration. |

During winter a person died during sleep, the room was closed and a container with burnt charcoal was found in the room. What may be the possible reason of his death ?A. Non-availability of oxygenB. Hb has more affinity to combine with carbon monoxideC. Hb has more affinity to combine with carbon dioxideD. Combined effect of both (a) and (c) |
Answer» Correct Answer - B Charcoal on burning produces carbon monoxide `(CO)`. `CO` has about `200` times more affinity for Hb than `O_(2)`. In combining with `Hb`, it forms a stable compound carboxyhaemoglobin. Because of this compound, Hb connot carry sufficient `O_(2)` to the tissus ultimately leading to death. |
