Which of the following situations increases hemoglobin O2 affinity?

7/31

Concerning ventilation of the lungs:

The anatomical dead space is the volume of air taken in during a breath that does not enter the alveoli
The physiologic dead space is always greater than the anatomic dead space
The anatomic dead space is independent of the tidal volume
In an upright lung, the alveolar ventilation is always highest at the base
8/31

Regarding the pulmonary circulation:

The pressures in the pulmonary arteries are similar to those in the systemic arteries.
The resistance of the pulmonary circulation rises as the pulmonary blood flow increases.
The mean pressure in the pulmonary arteries rises as cardiac output increases.
The pattern of pulmonary blood flow is independent of posture
9/31

Concerning the control of respiration:

The respiratory muscles have an intrinsic rhythmical activity
The basic neural machinery for the generation of the respiratory rhythm is located in the lower medulla
Respiration will stop if all afferent nerves to the lungs are cut
The respiratory center is unable to increase ventilator drive if needed

Haldane Effect is best described as:

The amount of gas that moves across a sheet of tissue is proportional to the area of the sheet, but inversely proportional to the thickness of the sheet.
Removal of oxygen from hemoglobin increases hemoglobin affinity for carbon dioxide
Describes airway resistance
Pressure inside a spherical structure is directly proportional to tension in wall and inversely proportional to radius of sphere, Surfactant plays a key role...

According to the Alveolar Ventilation Equation, if alveolar ventilation INCREASES:

Alveolar PCO2 remains unchanged
Alveolar PCO2 has nothing to do with this relationship
Alveolar PCO2 decreases
Alveolar PO2 decreases

Select the Respiratory Control Center from the list that best applies to the description given: Most important receptors involved in the minute to minute control of respiration. Are surrounded by Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) and respond to changes in its H+ concentration. Increase in H+ stimulates ventilation. A decrease inhibits ventilation. *Thus CO2 level in blood regulates ventilation chiefly by its effect on the CSF.
