What is the stage of the cardiac cycle during which the ventricles are filled? 

Answer»

The filling of the ventricles with blood occurs during diastole.

11.

What is the difference between systole and diastole

Answer»

Systole and diastole are the two stages into which the cardiac cycle is divided. Systole is the stage when the contraction of ventricular muscle fibers occurs and the ventricles are emptied. Diastole is the stage of the cardiac cycle when the ventricular muscle fibers distend and the ventricles are filled with blood. 

12.

The valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery is the: a) mitral valve b) semilunar valve c) bicuspid valve d) tricuspid valve

Answer»

 SEMILUNAR VALVE.

13.

Is the ventricle lumen larger during systole or during diastole?

Answer»

Systole is the stage of the cardiac cycle on which the ventricles contract. So the lumen of these chambers is reduced and the pressure upon the blood within them is heightened.

During diastole the opposite occurs. The muscle fibers of the ventricles relax and the lumen of these chambers enlarges helping the entrance of blood.

14.

The valve that separates the right ventricle and the base of the pulmonary artery is the pulmonary valve. The pulmonary valve is important to prevent blood from the pulmonary circulation to flow back to the heart during diastole.

Answer»

Arteries of the pulmonary circulation are arteries that carry venous blood and not arterial blood.

When the blood passes within the alveolar capillaries of the lungs hematosis (oxygenation) occurs and carbon dioxide is released to the exterior.

15.

What is the valve that separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery? Why is that valve important?

Answer»

The valve that separates the right ventricle and the base of the pulmonary artery is the pulmonary valve. The pulmonary valve is important to prevent blood from the pulmonary circulation to flow back to the heart during diastole.

19.

What is the substance that stimulates the production of red blood cells? Which is the organ that secretes it? Under what conditions does this secretion increase?

Answer»

The substance that stimulates the production of red blood cells by the bone marrow is erythropoietin. Erythropoietin is a hormone secreted by the kidneys. Its secretion is increased when there is deficient tissue oxygenation (tissue hypoxia) caused either by reduced oxygen availability (as it occurs in high altitudes) or by internal diseases, as in pulmonary diseases.

24.

How do respiratory pigments act?

Answer»

Respiratory pigments are oxygencarrying molecules present in the blood. When the oxygen concentration is high, for example, in the pulmonary alveoli, the respiratory pigments bind to the gas. In conditions of low oxygen concentration, e.g., in tissues, the respiratory pigments release the molecule.

In the human blood the respiratory pigment is hemoglobin, present within the red blood cells.

25.

Answer»

Rhodopsin Night blindness.

27.

How different are oxyhemoglobin and hemoglobin? Where is it expected to find a higher concentration of oxyhemoglobin, in peripheral tissues or in the lungs?

Answer»

Oxygen-bound hemoglobin is called oxyhemoglobin. In the lungs the oxygen concentration is higher and so there is a higher oxyhemoglobin concentration. In the peripheral tissues the situation is the reverse, the concentration of oxygen is lower and there is more free hemoglobin.

28.

In high altitudes is it necessary for the blood to have more or less hemoglobin?

Answer»

In high altitudes the air is rarefied and oxygen concentration is lower than in low altitudes. In this situation the efficiency of the respiratory system must be greater and thus the organism synthesizes more hemoglobin (and more red blood cells) trying to get more oxygen. This phenomenon is known as compensatory hyperglobulinemia.

The compensatory hyperglobulinemia is the reason why athletes that will compete in high altitudes need to arrive in the place some days before the event so there is time for their body to make more red blood cells and they will be less affected by the effects of the low atmospheric oxygen concentration (fatigue, reduced muscular strength).

29.

By which process germ cells produce sperms? (a)Mitosis (b) Meiosis (c) Both (a) and (b) (d) None of these

Answer»

Meiosis is  process germ cells produce sperms.

30.

What is colourblindness?

Answer»

This is a sex linked disorder. Colourblindness is the unability of certain human beings to distinguish red colour from green colour. Hence this disease is X linked recessive gene by causing lack of one of the primary cone pigments of the retina. 

31.

What is hemoglobin F? Why does the fetus need a different hemoglobin?

Answer»

Haemoglobin F is the haemoglobin found in the mammalian fetus and haemoglobin A is the normal haemoglobin. Haemoglobin F has a higher affinity for oxygen.

The fetus needs haemoglobin capable of extracting oxygen from the mother’s circulation. Therefore the fetus uses haemoglobin F since it has a higher affinity for oxygen than the mother’s haemoglobin.

A vapour compression heat pump is driven by a power cycle having a thermal efficiency of 25%. For the heat pump, refrigerant-12 is compressed from saturated vapor at 2.0 bar to the condenser pressure of 12 bar. The isentropic efficiency of the compressor is 80%. Saturated liquid enters the expansion valve at 12 bar. For the power cycle 80% of the heat rejected by it is transferred to the heated space which has a total heating requirement of 500 kJ/min. Determine the power input to the heat pump compressor. The following data for refrigerant-12 may be used :Pressure, barTemperature,°CEnthalpy, kJ/kgEntropy, kJ/kg K2.0– 12.53LiquidVapourLiquidVapour12.049.3124.5784.21182.07206.240.09920.3015 0.70350.6799Vapour specific heat at constant pressure = 0.7 kJ/kg K.

Answer»

Heat rejected by the cycle = \(\cfrac{500}{0.8}\) = 625 kJ/min. 

Assuming isentropic compression of refrigerant, we have 

Entropy of dry saturated vapour at 2 bar = Entropy of superheated vapour at 12 bar

0.7035 = 0.6799 + cp ln \(\cfrac{T}{(49.31+273)}\) = 0.6799 + 0.7 × ln \(\left(\cfrac{T}{322.31}\right)\)

ln \(\left(\cfrac{T}{322.31}\right)\) = \(\cfrac{0.7035-0.6799}{0.7}\) = 0.03371

T = 322.31 (e)0.03371 = 333.4 K 

∴ Enthalpy of superheated vapour at 12 bar  = 206.24 + 0.7(333.4 – 322.31) = 214 kJ/kg 

Heat rejected per cycle = 214 – 84.21 = 129.88 kJ/kg

Mass flow rate of refrigerant = \(\cfrac{625}{129.88}\) = 4.812 kg/min

Work done on compressor = 4.812 (214 – 182.07) 

= 153.65 kJ/min = 2.56 kW

Actual work of compresson = \(\cfrac{2.56}{η_{compressor}}\) = \(\cfrac{2.56}{0.8}\) = 3.2 kW

Hence power input to the heat pump compressor = 3.2 kW.

44.

A four-cylinder four-stroke SI engine develops an output of 44 kW. If the pumping work is 5% of the indicated work and mechanical loss is an additional 7%, then the power consumed in pumping work is : (a) 50 kW (b) 25 kW (c) 5.0 kW (d) 2.5 kW

Answer»

(d) 2.5 kW

bp = ip – 0.05ip – 0.07ip 

= ip – 0.12ip = 0.88ip

\(\therefore\) ip = \(\cfrac{bp}{0.88}\) = \(\cfrac{44}{0.88}\) = 50 kW

\(\therefore\) Pumping work = 50 × 0.05 = 2.5 KW

45.

What do you mean by cooling load and air-quantities?

Answer»

The air-circulated in the room must be adequate to take the load from the airconditioned room. The outlet condition of the air is fixed as per the comfort requirements in the room. The condition of the air (DBT) entering the room must be such that it must be able to take the load in the room. The lower the supply air temperature less the quantity of air required to be circulated.
