Question
Chapter 10, Problem 2TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
There is a presence of a flap inside the throat, which is responsible to prevent the food from entering the lungs and the windpipe. This flap is known as epiglottis and this is made up of elastic cartilage, which is surrounded by a mucous membrane.

During acute epiglottitis, the epiglottis swells to several times its normal size. This would interfere directly with: a. internal respiration b. external respiration c. breathing d. gas exchange in the alveoli
Which of the following is true regarding respiratory distress syndrome?
A. The work of breathing of the infant is reduced
B. Type I alveolar cells are not properly synthesizing surfactant
C. Sensation of oxygen and carbon dioxide by the chemoreceptors is inadequate
D. Surface tension within alveoli is too high so the alveoli collapse
E. The alveoli are not big enough yet to allow the infant to properly breathe
which of these variables would NOT affect the ability of a gas to diffuse across the respiratory membrane going from the alveolous to the blood
a. partial pressure of the gas in question
b. hemoglobin count
c. surface area of the alveolous
d. dissusion distance
