Question 1
Answer
-
Tidal volume is the amount of air inhaled with a normal breath from the resting level - about 500 ml
-
IRV - The max amount of additional air that can be inhaled beyond the tidal volume
-
ERV - the max amount of air that can be exhaled following a normal exhalation from the resting level
-
Residual volume - the amount of air that remains after a normal expiration
-
1,2,3 are correct
-
all are correct
Question 2
Question
Lung Capacities which of the following is not true
Question 3
Question
Elastic recoil of chest wall and lungs determines FRC
Question 4
Question
Regarding FRC all are true except
Answer
-
Is what remains after a normal breath
-
FRC can be measured by spirometry
-
FRC increases with age
-
FRC decreases with lying down
Question 5
Question
With age all of the following are true except?
Answer
-
Increased RV
-
Increased FRC
-
Increased VC
-
None of the above
Question 6
Question
Lying down decreases FRC, VC is unchanged because of increased IRV
Question 7
Question
In pregnancy all of the following changes are true except?
Answer
-
Decreased ERV
-
Decreased RV
-
decreased FRC
-
decreased Tidal volume
Question 8

FEF 25-75
-
all of the above
Question 9
Question
Highest airway resistance is seen in the mid sized bronchi
Question 10
Question
Men have greater lung capacity and volume than women, but both sexes have equal tidal volumes
Question 11
Question
all of the following are correctly matched except
Answer
-
normal spirogram
-
COPD
-

-
Tracheal stenosis (fixed large airway)
-
Variable intrathoracic obstruction
-
Variable extrathoracic obstruction
-
None of the above
Question 12
Question
In Obstructive lung disease all are true except?
Answer
-
FEV1 is decreased
-
FVC is decreased
-
FEV1/FVC is increased
Question 13
Question
In restrictive lung disease all are true except
Answer
-
FEV1 is decreased
-
FVC is increased
-
FEV1/FVC is increased
Question 14
Question
Methacholine challenge test differentiates between bronchial asthma and the other obstructive lung diseases like chronic bronchitis and emphysema
Question 15
Question
All of the following are restrictive lung diseases except?
Answer
-
Intrinsic lung diseases like interstitial fibrosis of lung or pneumonia
-
Extrinsic lung diseases that mechanically compress the lungs and limit their expansion
-
Neuromuscular diseases of the respiratory muscles
-
none of the above
Question 16
Answer
-
Can be measured by Gas dilution method
-
Or by body plethysmography
-
Gas dilution method under estimates trapped gas
-
if TLC pleth/TLC gas dilution is > 1,2 trapped gas is present
-
all of the above are correct
Question 17
Question
Diffusing capacity (Dl CO)
Answer
-
Decreased in emphysema (obstructive lung disease)
-
decreased in interstitial lung disease (restrictive lung disease)
-
Increased in asthma (obstructive lung disease) - due to increased blood flow to lung
-
used to distinguish between intrinsic lung disease from extrinsic lung disease
-
all of the above are correct
