respiratory and gas exchange
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The apparatus used to measure the volume of air exchanged in breathing is called a(n) | Spirometer. |
| The exact amount of oxygen in blood depends mainly on the amount of | Hemogoblin |
| What variations exist in the body to temporarily store or carry oxygen? | Neuroglobin, Myoglobin, and fetal hemoglobin |
| The basic rhythm of the respiratory cycle of inspiration and expiration seems to be generated by the | Medullary rhythmicity area |
| Oxygen enters blood from alveolar air because the partial pressure of alveolar air is | greater than the partial pressure of incoming blood |
| Pressure gradients are established by changes in the | Thoracic cavity |
| ____ law states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. | Boyle's |
| An obstructive lung disorder that is characterized by recurring spasms of the smooth muscles in the wall of the bronchial air passages is | Asthma |
| Spirometry is used to measure for? | It measures how much air you breathe in, how much you breathe out and how quickly you breathe out. |
| In what form does oxygen travel in the blood? | Dissolve oxygen in the plasma and associated with hemogoblin. |
| A right shift of the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve due to increased partial pressure of carbon dioxide is also known as | the Bohr effect |
