1. Bar-headed geese that migrate over Mt. Everest have which of the following physiological adaptations? a. Reduced lung size b. Hemoglobin with very high affinity for oxygen c. Fewer mitochondria in cells d. Fewer capillaries in flight muscles 2. Inflation of the lungs at inspiration occurs when: a. The atmospheric pressure increases to force air into the alveolar space b. The diaphragm contracts which increases the air pressure in the bronchioles c. Contraction of the diaphragm pushes on the lungs, causing them to inflate d. Contraction of the diaphragm expands the thoracic cavity and decreases the air pressure inside the lungs 3. At the systemic capillaries: a. The partial pressure of oxygen is greater in the capillaries compared to the tissue cells b. The partial pressure of oxygen is less in the capillaries compared to the tissue cells c. The partial pressure of oxygen is equal in the capillaries and the tissue cells d. The partial pressure of oxygen is not important because the partial pressure of carbon dioxide drives the loading and unloading of hemoglobin 4. The loading and unloading of hemoglobin is regulated by: a. Kroghs principle b. Boyles Law c. The law of mass action d. The osmotic pressure gradient 5. Large terrestrial animals have evolved which of the following adaptations to maximize oxygen delivery to their tissues: a. Countercurrent air flow in the lungs b. Large surface area for gas diffusion c. Dissolving the oxygen in fluid so that it is present at a higher concentration d. Few systemic capillaries in the tissues 6. The partial pressure of oxygen at the peak of Pikes Peak in Colorado is 93mm Hg. What the atmospheric pressure at the peak of Pikes Peak? a.20 mm Hg b.442 mmHg c.160 mm Hg d.760 mm Hg
