Part 1 of 7 - 9.0/ 15.0 Points
Question 1 of 32
3.0/ 3.0 Points
The act of moving the air in and out of the lungs is referred to as which of the following?
A. Pulmonary ventilation
B. Respiration
C. Intrapleural pressure
D. Atmospheric pressure
E. None of the above
Feedback:Good work; your answer is correct!
Question 2 of 320.0/ 3.0 Points
____________ is the maximum amount of air one can exhale by force after a normal expiration.
A. Residual volume
B. Expiratory reserve volume
C. Vital capacity
D. Tidal volume
E. Inspiratory reserve volume
Feedback:After a normal expiration, the maximum amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled is
approximately 1000-1200ml. After which, the lungs still contain the residual volume.
Question 3 of 32
0.0/ 3.0 Points
Under normal circumstances, bronchoconstriction is caused by ________________ and
bronchodilation is caused by ________________.
A. Sympathetic nervous system; parasympathetic nervous system
B. Parasympathetic nervous system; sympathetic nervous system
C. Voluntary control; involuntary control
D. Involuntary control; voluntary control
E. None of the above
Feedback:The lungs receive both sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation. The left and
right vagus nerves innervate the pulmonary plexus and when stimulated, cause
bronchoconstriction. Sympathetic innervation to the lungs can be traced back from the
pulmonary plexus through a few structures to the thoracic portion of the spinal cord. When the
sympathetic nervous system is stimulated, it causes bronchodilation. Both bronchoconstriction
and bronchodilation are involuntary, not caused by intentional thought or as a reflex.
