Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bicarbonate ion is responsible for carrying most of the carbon dioxide in the blood.

Answer: E
 Tidal volume is the amount of air that is inhaled and exhaled during normal breathing.

Answer: F
 External respiration refers to the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the lungs and the blood.

Answer: I
 Internal respiration refers to the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the blood and the body tissues.

Answer: A
 Oxyhemoglobin is formed when oxygen binds to hemoglobin in the red blood cells.

Answer: D
 Chemoreceptors are specialized cells that detect changes in the levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH in the blood.

Answer: C
 Pulmonary ventilation refers to the movement of air into and out of the lungs.

Answer: H
 Residual volume is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after a maximal expiration.

Answer: B
 Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a maximal inhalation.

Answer: J
 Pulmonary stretch receptors are located in the airways and are sensitive to changes in lung volume and produce reflexes that regulate respiration.
