Question
Answer
During forced breathing, which of the following occurs during inhalation?   The expiratory center of the VRG is inhibited.  
🗑
The diaphragm and external intercostal muscles (quiet normal breathing) are controlled by the   DRG  
🗑
Which statement regarding respiration is true?   The sternocleidomastoid muscle works to elevate the rib cage.  
🗑
Which body system, in addition to respiration, does the nasal cavity service?   endocrine  
🗑
Air entering the body is filtered, warmed, and humidified by the   upper (conducting) portion of the respiratory tract.  
🗑
A young teen, balancing precariously on a bridge, topples and falls into icy-cold rushing water. EMT successfully pull him out, and although he is still breathing. What is an expected effect of this disturbance in respiratory equilibrium?   2. *increased carbon dioxide levels in the cerebrospinal fluid  
🗑
Which of the following factors would increase the amount of oxygen released by hemoglobin from the bloodstream?   decreased pH and increased temperature  
🗑
About how much of the oxygen content of arterial blood consists of oxygen molecules in the plasma (or in solution)?   1.5%  
🗑
As the diaphragm contracts, all of the following events occur EXCEPT _________. he rib cage is elevated the pressure inside the thoracic cavity decreases below that of atmospheric air exhalation the size of the thoracic cavity increases   exhalation  
🗑
Breathing through the nose rather than breathing through the mouth is advantageous because   air is warmed on inhalation
