Explanation

Question 2 of 20

1

During each cycle of normal resting ventilation, a volume of gas is moved into and out of the respiratory tract. This cyclical volume is called the:

Select one of the following:

  • residual volume (RV)

  • tidal volume (VT)

  • inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)

  • vital capacity (VC)

Explanation

Select one of the following:

  • Pbs

  • Pao

  • Ppl

  • Palv

Explanation

Question 5 of 20

1

Which of the following pressure gradients is responsible for the actual flow of gas into and out of the lungs during breathing?

Select one of the following:

  • transrespiratory pressure gradient (Palv – Pao)

  • transpulmonary pressure gradient (Palv – Ppl)

  • transcanadian pressure gradient (Ppc – Pks)

Explanation

Question 6 of 20

1

  • transpulmonary pressure gradient (Palv – Ppl)

Explanation

Question 7 of 20

1

Which of the following statements about alveolar pressure (Palv) during normal quiet breathing is true?

Select one of the following:

  • It always remains less than atmospheric pressure.

  • It is negative during inspiration and positive during expiration.

  • It is the same as intrapleural pressure (Ppl).

  • It is positive during inspiration and negative during expiration.

Explanation

Question 8 of 20

1

What happens during normal inspiration?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Palv drops below that at the airway opening.

  • The transpulmonary pressure gradient widens.

  • The Ppl decreases further below atmospheric.

Explanation

Question 9 of 20

1

During normal tidal ventilation, the transpulmonary pressure gradient (Palv – Ppl) reaches its maximum value at what point in the cycle?

Select one of the following:

  • mid-expiration

  • end-inspiration

  • end-expiration

  • mid-inspiration

Explanation

Question 10 of 20

1

During expiration, why does gas flow out from the lungs to the atmosphere?

Select one of the following:

  • Airway pressure is greater than Palv.

  • Palv is greater than at the airway opening.

  • Palv is the same as at the airway opening

  • Palv is less than at the airway opening.

Explanation

Question 11 of 20

1

What forces must be overcome to move air into the respiratory system?

Select one or more of the following:

  • surface tension forces

  • airway resistance

  • elastic forces of lung tissue

  • tissue movement

Explanation

Question 12 of 20

1

What term is used to note the difference between inspiratory lung volume and expiratory lung volume at any given pressure?

Select one of the following:

  • transpulmonary pressures

  • pleural pressure variance

  • hysteresis

  • alveolar aphasia

Explanation

Question 13 of 20

1

What is the effect of surface tension forces in the air-filled lung?

Select one or more of the following:

  • It decreases the lung's elasticity as volume increases

  • It makes the lung harder to inflate than if it were filled with fluid

  • It increases the elastic recoil of the lung (promoting collapse).

Explanation
