MCQ 211 Mark
Lungs do not collapse between breaths and some air always remains in the lungs which can never be expelled because
  • A
    there is a negative pressure in the lungs
  • there is a negative intrapleural pressure pulling at the lung walls
  • C
    there is a positive intrapleural pressure
  • D
    pressure in the lungs is higher than the atmospheric pressure.
Answer
Correct option: B.
there is a negative intrapleural pressure pulling at the lung walls
b
(b) : Intrapleural pressure is the pressure of air within the pleural cavity. Intrapleural pressure is always negative, which acts like a suction to keep the lungs inflated and prevent them from collapsing. The negative intrapleural pressure is due to three main factors: surface tension of the alveolar fluid; elasticity of lungs; elasticity of thoracic wall. Normally, there is a difference between intrapleural and intrapulmonary pressure, which is called transpulmonary pressure. This transpulmonary pressure creates the suction to keep the lungs inflated. If there is no pressure difference, there is no suction and lungs will collapse.

Name the pulmonary disease in which alveolar surface area involved in gas exchange is drastically reduced due to damage in the alveolar walls.
  • A
    Pneumonia
  • B
    Asthma
  • C
    Pleurisy
  • Emphysema
Answer
Correct option: D.
Emphysema
d
(d) : Emphysema is an inflation or abnormal distension of the bronchioles or alveolar sacs of the lungs. Many of the septa between the alveoli are destroyed and much of the elastic tissue of the lungs is replaced by connective tissue. As the alveolar septa collapse, the surface area for gas exchange is greatly reduced. There is loss of elasticity in the walls of bronchioles or alveolar sacs. As a result the alveolar sacs remain filled with air even after expiration. The exhalation becomes more difficult. The lungs remain inflated. Major causes of emphysema are cigarette smoking and the inhalation of smoke or other toxic substances over a period of time.

  • Haemoglobin is necessary for transport of oxygen and carbonic anhydrase for transport of carbon dioxide
  • C
    Only oxygen is transported by blood
  • D
    Only carbon dioxide is transported by blood
Answer
Correct option: B.
Haemoglobin is necessary for transport of oxygen and carbonic anhydrase for transport of carbon dioxide
b
Transportation of oxygen from lungs to body tissues and of $CO _{2}$ from tissues to the lungs is vital role of blood.

Transport of carbon dioxide : Most of the $CO _{2}$ that dissolves in blood plasma reacts with water to form carbonic acid :

$CO _{2}+ H _{2} O \rightarrow H _{2} CO _{3}$

An enzyme carbonic anhydrase present in RBCs, which accelerates the carbonic acid formation about 5000 times. About $70 \%$ of the $CO _{2}$ received by blood from the tissue immediately enter into RBCs and hydrated to carbonic acid. All carbonic acid of RBCs dissociates into hydrogen and bicarbonate ions 6 The $H^{+i i}$ mostly combine with haemoglobin for keeping the pH of blood ($7.4$) in steady state, whereas the bicarbonate ion diffuse from RBCs into the plasma. To maintain electrostatic neutrality of plasma many chloride ions in turn diffuse from plasma into RBCs. This is termed chloride or Hamburger shift.

Bulk of carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ released from body tissues into the blood is present as
  • bicarbonate in blood plasma and RBCs
  • B
    free $CO_2$ in blood plasma
  • C
    $70\%$ carbamino­haemoglobin and $30\%$ as bicarbonate
  • D
    carbamino­haemoglobin in $RBCs.$
Answer
Correct option: A.
bicarbonate in blood plasma and RBCs
a
(a) : At the tissue site where partial pressure of $CO_2$ is high due to catabolism, $CO_2$ diffuses into blood ($RBCs$ and plasma) and forms $HCO^-$ and $H^+$. At the alveolar site where $pCO_2$ is low, the reaction proceeds in the opposite direction leading to the formation of $CO_2$ and $H_2O$. Thus, $CO_2$ trapped as bicarbonate at the tissue level and transported to the alveoli is released out as $CO_2$.

What is vital capacity of our lungs?
  • A
    Inspiratory reserve volume plus expiratory reserve volume
  • Total lung capacity minus residual volume
  • C
    Inspiratory reserve volume plus tidal volume
  • D
    Total lung capacity minus expiratory reserve volume
Answer
Correct option: B.
Total lung capacity minus residual volume
b
(b) : Vital capacity is the amount of air which one can inhale or exhale with maximum effort. It is the sum of tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume, while total lung capacity is the total amount of air present in the lungs and the respiratory passage after a maximum inspiration. It is the sum of the vital capacity and the residual volume. $TLC = VC + RV$. So, vital capacity is also total lung capacity $(TLC)$ -residual volume $(RV)$.

$CO_2$ from the respiratory tissues to the lungs is transported by the blood in $3$ ways:
$(i)$ In dissolved state or as a physical solution: Very small amount is physically dissolved in plasma ($7\%$ i.e. $0.3\, ml$ of $CO_2$ by each $100\, ml$ of blood).
$(ii)$ Bicarbonate ions: About $70\%$ (i.e. $@\, 2.5\, ml$ per $100\, ml$ of blood) $CO_2$ diffuses in plasma and then into $RBCs$ where it (in the presence of carbonic anhydrase) combines with $H_2O$ to form carbonic acid which is almost spontaneously dissociated into hydrogen ion and bicarbonate ions.
$(iii)$ Carbaminohaemoglobin : $23\%$ (i.e. $1\, ml$ of $CO_2$ per $100\, ml$ of blood) combines with haemoglobin forming an unstable compound.

Which of the following match is correct?
  • Emphysema: reduction of surface area of alveoli and bronchi
  • B
    Pneumonia: occupational disease with asbestos
  • C
    Silicosis: inflammation of alveoli
  • D
    Asthma: excessive secretion of bronchial mucus
Answer
Correct option: A.
Emphysema: reduction of surface area of alveoli and bronchi
a
Cigarette smoking leads to the disease emphysema. In this disease, terminal bronchioles get obstructed. This reduces the ventilation of the alveoli connected to them. Many alveoli coalesce together to form large chambers due to destruction of their walls. This change of smaller alveoli to large chambers reducing the area of alveolar surface across which gases are exchanged. All these changes reduce both oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide elimination.
