Composition and Order of Gases in Exhaled Air Compared to Inhaled Air
Air inhaled during breathing contains principal gases in order N2>O2>CO2>H2O. The gases in exhaled air would be in order (1) N2>CO2>O2>H2 (2) N2>O2>CO2>H2 (3) N2>CO2>H2>O2 (4) N2>H2>CO2>CO2 Introduction […]
How the Human Body Adapts to High Altitude: Increase in Red Blood Cell Count and More
The human body can adapt to high altitude through (1) Increase in RBC count (2) Decrease in RBC count (3) Increase affinity for oxygen by haemoglobin (4) Decrease affinity for […]
Factors Increasing Hemoglobin’s Affinity for Oxygen: Understanding the Oxygen-Hemoglobin Dissociation Curve
In haemoglobin affinity for oxygen increases when there is (1) High H+ (2) High pCO2 (3) High temperature (4) High 2,3 BPG Introduction The affinity of hemoglobin (Hb) for […]
Understanding Intrapleural Pressure Changes During Different Phases of Respiration
The pressure in the ‘space’ between lungs and chest wall is known as intrapleural pressure. The following statements are related to the intrapleural pressure at different phases of respiration: A. […]
Cutaneous Respiration in Amphibians vs Pulmonary Respiration in Mammals: The Role of Positive and Negative Pressure
If we compare the cutaneous respiration in amphibian and pulmonary mammals we will find that gas exchange is due to (1) Positive pressure in both amphibian and mammals (2) Negative […]
Why Athletes Train at High Altitudes: Benefits of Increased Red Blood Cell Production
Athletes are usually trained at high altitudes because- (1) To increase the number of RBC (2) To form modified haemoglobin (3) To increase number of WBC (4) To increase the […]
ECG Diagnostics: Identifying Incorrect Cardiac Particulars Based on ECG Analysis
The ECG recorded by different leads is analysed on the basis of variation of electrical potential at various loci on the surface of the body, and the time scale relation […]
Matching Electrocardiogram Intervals with Cardiac Events in Humans
Given below are the different intervals/ durations of electrocardiogram of a humansubject (column A) and the events in heart during the process (column B). Which one of the following options […]
Understanding ECG Leads: Identifying Which Are Unipolar and Bipolar Leads in Human ECG
Different leads are used to record ECG of humans. Which one of the following is NOT unipolar leads? (1) Augmented limb leads (2) V1 and V2 leads (3) Standard limb […]
