Animal Physiology-

57. During exertion, increased blood flow through skeletal muscle enables an increased rate of oxygen delivery,increased rate of carbon dioxide removal, and an increased rate of heat transfer. How does heat enter thebloodstream? (a) convection (b) conduction (c) radiation

58. Does lactic acid begin to appear within skeletal muscle during exertion should oxygen be limiting? yes or no

60. Is carbon dioxide within the bloodstream a dehydrated, volatile acid? yes or no

62. The pH of any bicarbonate buffer system can be predicted with the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: pH =6.1 + log [HCO3-]/[0.03 mmol L-1 mm Hg-1 x PCO2]. The pH of arterial blood is 7.4. Does this mean that a ratio of 20 to 1 must be maintained between the molar concentration of bicarbonate and carbon dioxide? yes or no

63. Did the rate of mitochondrial carbon dioxide production increase during the case study? yes or no

64. Did the partial pressure of pulmonary carbon dioxide change during the case study? yes or no

73. Pulmonary PCO2 is stabilized by an autonomic reflex that modulates ventilation rate. Ventilation rate is bestunderstood as a pattern in which pulmonary ventilation, in ml per minute, equals ventilation frequency timesthe difference between tidal and dead space volumes. Can basal ventilation rate be predicted from anallometric equation? yes or no

74. Ventilation and walking are enabled by central pattern generators. In the case of walking, where are theneurons that act as a pattern generator? (a) motor cortex (b) brainstem (c) spinal cord

88. Which hormonal signal facilitates lipolysis within adipocytes? (a) elevation of bloodstream glucagon (b) diminution of bloodstream insulin (c) diminution of bloodstream leptin

93. The concentration of bloodstream leptin is proportional to the availability of: (a) mobilizable protein (b) hepatic glycogen (c) adipocyte triglyceride

11. A subject is connected at FRC to a bag containing 2L of 8% He, 92% O2. He rebreathes from the bag until mixing is complete; at which time the fraction of He is 4.6%. What is the value of FRC?

A. 1.15L

B. 1.48L (can you please explain this answer)

C. 2.48L

D. 3.48L

E. It cannot be calculated from the information given

The minimum time it takes a normal person to go from residual volume (RV) to total lung capacity (TLC) is less than the minimum amount of time to go from TLC to RV. The most probable explanation for this effect is:

A. the chest wall tends to spring outward when the respiratory system is at RV.

B. the chest wall is less compliant at RV.

C. inspiratory muscles are stronger than expiratory muscles.

D. the lungs have less recoil at TLC.

E. the airways tend to collapse during forced expiration. (can you please explain why this is the answer)

Two gases, A and B have the same partial pressure difference across the alveolar capillary barrier. Gas A has a molecular weight of 36 and solubility of 24 while gas B has a molecular weight of 16 and solubility of 2. What is the rate of diffusion of gas A through the barrier compared to gas B?

A. 12:1

B. 8:1 (can you explain why B is the answer?)

C. 6:4

D. 4:1

E. They are the same.

If an individual with a tidal volume of 500 ml and a dead space volume of 100 ml were to exercise and double the CO2 production, with no change in respiratory rate, what tidal volume would be required to maintain their original PCO2 of 40 mm Hg?

B. 1100 ml

C. 1000 ml

D. 900 ml (can you explain why the answer is D?)
