The body changes alveolar ventilation rates to maintain proper alveolar gas levels. Which of the following would result in an increase in minute alveolar ventilation? Select one: O a. None are correct O b. Central chemoreceptors detecting a small decrease in 02 levels O c. venous pCO2 of 43 O d. Peripheral chemoreceptors detecting a decrease in pH levels O e. Decreasing the respiring tissue consumption of 02
Why did alveolar minute volume increase with exercise? Group of answer choices Fatigue of the diaphragm Reduced oxygen levels in venous blood Increased mean arterial pressure Increased carbon dioxide levels in arterial blood and CSF
Place the following in order after contraction of the diaphragm. = Oxygen is in the alveoli. = Carbon dioxide leaves the body. = Oxygen is in the bronchial tubes. = Oxygen moves into the upper respiratory tract. = Oxygen is pulled into the lower respiratory tract. = Oxygen diffuses through capillaries into the blood stream. = Diaphragm relaxes.

During expiration O The atmospheric pressure decreases O The alveolar pressure decreases O The atmospheric pressure increases O The alveolar pressure increases The intrapleural pressure decreases
Match the following: No exchange of gases occurs here Secrete a fluid containing surfactant Where the respiratory zone of the lungs begins. Composed of simple squamous epithelium Terminates in alveoli Composed of cuboidal cells The respiratory membrane is composed of fused basement membrane of the capillary walls and [Choose] [Choose ] [Choose ] [Choose ] [Choose ] Choose] [Choose ]
Choose all the correct statements. gas exchange only occurs where there are alveoli The sympathetic nervous system causes bronchoconstriction (constriction of the bronchi). The normal inhalation and exhalation are known as vital capacity. capillaries surround alveoli cartilage keeps the bronchi and trachea air passageways to remain open carbon dioxide leaves the alveoli and enter the blood capillaries Surfactant allows alveoli to reopen when inhaling The medulla oblongata helps control respiration
When alveolar ventilation exceeds the needs of cellular respiration there is a/an OA. increase in the hydrogen ion OB. increase in the carbon dioxide C. decrease in the carbon dioxide O D. decrease in the oxygen O E. None of the above concentration in the blood.
