Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stretch receptors inhibit inspiration in the inflated lung by sending signals to the brain to stop further inflation and prevent overdistention.

Answer: K
 Pulmonary ventilation is the movement of air in and out of the lungs, which includes both inhalation and exhalation.

Answer: F
 Bicarbonate ions are important for regulating the pH of the blood and maintaining acid-base balance.

Answer: G
 Tidal volume is the amount of air that is normally inhaled and exhaled during one breath.

Answer: H
 Vital capacity is the maximum amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after a maximum inhalation.

Answer: I
 Aortic bodies are clusters of sensory cells located on the aorta that detect changes in oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood.

Answer: M
 Residual volume is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after a forced expiration.
