O2 dissociation curve is shifted to right by:

All of the following partial pressures of gases in air are true except:

A- The pCO2 in alveolar air is 40 mmHg

B- The pCO2 in expired air is 30 mmHg.

C- The pH2O in both alveolar & expired air is 47 mmHg

D- The pO2 in alveolar air is 100 mmHg.

E- The pO2 in expired air is 80 mmHg.

In the O2 dissociation curve, all of the following is true except:

A- Its characteristic Sigmoid shape is due to progressive increased affinity of Hb to combine with O2

B- At pO2 100 mmHg, Hb is about 95% saturated.

C- At PO2 40 mmHg, Hb is about 70% saturated.

D- It`s shifted to left in case of decreased blood temperature

E- It`s shifted to right with increased 2,3DPH & blood pH.

F- A decrease in pO2 from 100 to 60 mmHg has little effect on O2 saturation

About Myoglobin, all of the following is true except:

A- O2 disociation curve has a rectangular hyperbola shape

B- It`s shifted to left of the Hb-O2 dissociation curve

C- It has a higher affinity than blood Hb.

D- It has a low affinity to O2 at low pO2

O2 delivery to tissues depends on the:

A- Amount of O2 entering the lungs

B- Adequacy of pulmonary gas exchange.

C- Blood flow rate to the tissues.

D- Capacity of blood to carry O2

E- All of the Above.

About O2 transport, all of the following is true except:

A- O2 flows downhill from air to alveoli then to arterial blood then to tissues.

B- In blood, O2 is present only in chemical combination with Hb

C- pO2 at the arterial ends of pulmonary capillary is 40 mmHg

D- pO2 at the venous ends of pulmonary capillary is 100 mmHg.

Which of the following statements is wrong:

A- Lack of 2,3 DPG shifts the O2 curve to the right.

B- If a blood sample having normal amount of Hb contains 2 ml O2, the hb saturation with O2 is 10%.

C- The O2 dissociation curve is most steep at pO2 from 40~20 mmHg

D- Myoglobin acts as a store of O2 in skeletal muscles.

Which of the following is wrong partial pressure in alveolar level:

Which of the following statements in incorrect:

A- In upright position, V/Q is normally lowest in lung bases.

B- In upright position, lower lung zones are more compliant compared to upper lung zones.

C- In upright position, blood flow is greater at the lung bases than the apices.

D- In upright position, V/Q is normally highest in the lung apices.

E- Positive intrapleural pressure during forced expiration prevent airways from closing.
