Question
Chapter 36, Problem 10TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Hemoglobin is a molecule in red blood cells that carry the oxygen in the blood. It carries oxygen from the lungs to the whole body and returns carbon dioxide to the lungs.

- A partial pressure gradient of oxygen exists between ________. a. air and lungs b. lungs and metabolically active tissues c. air at sea level and air at high altitudes d. all of the abovearrow_forwardDescribe the function of these terms and describe where they are located: main bronchus, trachea, alveoli.arrow_forwardOf the following, which does not explain why the partial pressure of oxygen is lower in the lung than in the external air? Air in the lung is humidified; therefore, water vapor pressure alters the pressure Carbon dioxide mixes with oxygen Oxygen is moved into the blood and is headed to the tissues Lungs exert a pressure on the air to reduce the oxygen pressure.arrow_forward
- Figure 39.7 Which of the following statements about the mammalian respiratory system is false? When we breathe in, air travels from the pharynx to the trachea. The bronchioles branch into bronchi. Alveolar ducts connect to alveolar sacs. Gas exchange between the lung and blood takes place in the alveolus.arrow_forwardWhich of the following gases readily combines with the haemoglobin of the blood? Carbon monoxide Methene Oxygen Nitrogen dioxidearrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are TRUE: Very low oxygen levels will cause: a) Myoglobin instead of hemeglobin will be used to transfer oxygen to cells b) You might experience feelings similar to sickle-cell anemia c) You might have a higher total concentration of hemeglobin to help transport enough oxygen. d) Oxygen will be more concentrated in the air, resulting in higher saturation of hemeglobinarrow_forward
- For a human to inhale, the lung volume ________ which ________ pressure inside the lungs. increases ; increases increases ; decreases decreases ; decreases increases ; decreasesarrow_forwardWhich statement about the regulation of respiration is FALSE? Group of answer choices Respiratory centers in the medulla control the transition from inspiration to expiration. Carbon dioxide concentration is the most important chemical stimulus for regulating respiratory rate. Chemoreceptors in the walls of various arteries are sensitive to carbon dioxide levels in the blood. A group of neurons in the ventral medulla only become active when we need to breathe forcefully. Chemoreceptors may be sensitive to oxygen, carbon dioxide, and/or hydrogen ion concentration.arrow_forwardThe human respiratory system functions in the following ways. Explain each: gas exchange sense of smell voice production body defenses acid-base balance temperature regulationarrow_forward
- The carbamino effect decrease's hemoglobin's affinity for _________ in response to increased ____________, while the Haldane effect decrease's hemoglobin's affinity for _________ in response to increased ____________. A oxygen, carbon dioxide; carbon dioxide, oxygen B carbon dioxide, oxygen; oxygen, carbon dioxide C oxygen, carbon dioxide; oxygen, pH D carbon dioxide, oxygen; carbon dioxide, pH E oxygen, carbon dioxide; protons, oxygenarrow_forwardIn carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, CO binds to the heme of hemoglobin much tighter than oxygen (O2). What effect will this have on the ability of the tissues to get oxygen? Group of answer choices There will be no effect. CO will deliver oxygen to the tissues. Hemoglobin will bind more O2 and deliver more oxygen to the tissues. More hemoglobin will be produced to deliver oxygen to the tissues. Hemoglobin will bind less O2 and deliver less oxygen to the tissues.arrow_forwardPut the structural components provided in the order that an oxygen molecule travels by matching them with numbers 1-5. (Not all structures will be used.) Left ventricle, aorta, left atrium, right ventricle, right ventricle, alveolus, cell, right atriumarrow_forward
