Question 1

Exchange of gas that occurs in the alveolar capillary membranes between atmospheric air and the pulmonary capilaries

Answer 1

External Respiration

Question 2

Takes place at the tissue capillary level between the tissues and the surrounding capillaries

Answer 2

Internal respiration

Question 3

Answer 3

760 mm Hg

Question 4

Diaphragm and external intercostals are the prime movers

Answer 4

Question 5

Muscles that pull the ribs up are also called into action

Answer 5

Deep inspiration

Question 6

Muscles that stabilize and or elevate the shoulder girdle and elevate the ribs

Answer 6

Forced inspiration

Question 7

Passive process

Answer 7

Quiet expiration

Question 8

Brings in muscles that can pull down on the rib and muscles that can compress the abdomen

Answer 8

Forced Expiration

Question 9

The amount of air inspired and expired during resting ventilation

Answer 9

Tidal volume

Question 10

The amount of air that can be inspired but is usually kept in reserve

Answer 10

Inspiratory reserve volume

Question 11

The quantity of air that can potentially be exhaled beyond the end of a tidal exhalation

Answer 11

Expiratory reserve volume

Question 12

Lungs are not completely emptied of air even after maximally exhaling the ERV

Answer 12

Residual Volume
