  1. Human Biology Clicker Quiz Respiration

  2. The pleurae are vital to the integrity of the lungs because they • Contain cilia that protect the lungs • control the volume of the lungs • Secrete a lubricating serous fluid, allowing the lungs to glide over the thoracic wall during breathing • Maintain the proper temperature of the lungs during sleep

  3. The respiratory membrane is a combination of • Respiratory bronchioles and alveolar ducts • Alveolar walls, alveolar space and capillary walls • Atria and alveolar sacs • None of the above

  4. The nose serves all the following functions except • As a passageway for air movement • As the initiator of the cough reflex • Warming and humidifying the air • Cleansing the air

  5. Exchange of air occurs in _______ which are also known as 'air sacs'. • Alveolar duct • Bronchi • Bronchioles • Alveoli

  6. Which cells of the body carry oxygen to different parts of the body? • Red blood cells • White blood cells • B cells • Neutrophil

  7. The visceral pleural membrane of mammals is linked to the parietal pleural membrane by • Myosin fibers • Fluid-filled space • Smooth muscle • Loose connective tissue

  8. The most common gas found in air is • Oxygen • Argon • Nitrogen • Carbon dioxide • Carbon monoxide

  9. Which of the following is the correct sequence of the pathway through which air travels after entering the body? • Larynx, pharynx, trachea, bronchioles • Pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchioles • Pharynx, larynx, bronchioles, trachea • Pharynx, trachea, larynx, bronchioles

  10. Normal rate of respiration in an adult human being is ____ times/minute. • 10-12 • 12-14 • 16-18 • 22-24

  11. Which part of the respiratory tract contains the voice box? • Pharynx • Larynx • Trachea • Epiglottis

  12. True or False: The trachea contains ‘O’ shaped cartilaginous rings. • True • False

  13. True or False: Breathing through the mouth is considered as healthy as breathing through the nose. • True • False

  14. True or False: Two-layered membrane which covers the lungs is known as the pericardium. • True • False

  15. Which function is the larynx not involved in? • Swallowing • Sound production • Digestion • The larynx is not involved in any of these

  16. Cigarette smoke • Reduces the production of mucus in the respiratory tract • Contains particles of carbon that are rapidly cleansed from the lungs • Contains sulfur dioxide, which temporarily paralyzes the cilia in the lungs • Contains pollutants that increase the lungs’ natural cleansing mechanism

  17. In the lungs, oxygen • Travels from the blood, through the wall of the alveolus, then into the alveoli • Travels from alveolar air through the wall of the alveolus into surrounding capillaries • Travels from areas of high to low concentrations via diffusion • A and B • B and C

  18. Most oxygen in the blood is • Transported in the plasma as bicarbonate ions • Transported in the plasma bound to hemoglobin molecules • Is transported inside the red blood cells bound to hemoglobin molecules • None of the above

  19. The large muscle separating the abdominal and thoracic cavities • is known as the diaphragm and is under involuntary control • Is the intercostal muscle and is involved in inhalation • Flattens and lowers when it contracts, forcing air out of the lungs • All of the above • None of the above

  20. During inspiration, the rib cage • Lifts up and out • Does not move • Compresses • None of the above
