A) minute ventilation B) arterial P_CO2 C) body heat production D) oxygen delivery to muscles E) oxygen extraction from the blood by muscles Which of the following statements regarding hypoxia is correct? A) Exposure to high altitude is a form of hypoxic hypoxia B) Cyanide poisoning is an example of hypoxic hypoxia C) Carbon monoxide poisoning is an example of hypoxic hypoxia D) Carbon monoxide poisoning is an example of ischemic hypoxia E) "Anemic hypoxia" refers to the condition of lower than normal arterial P_O2 What is the term that describes the production of red blood cells? A) hemaglutination B) erythroblastosis C) erythrocytosis D) hemostasis E) erythropoiesis Which is characteristic of a person chronically suffering from hypoxic hypoxia? A) higher-than-normal hematocrit B) lower-than-normal blood flow through tissues C) higher-than-normal alveolar P_O2 D) lower-than-normal lactic acid production E) higher-than-normal arterial P_o2 Which of the following is NOT primarily a function of blood plasma? A) transport of oxygen B) having plasma proteins that exert an osmotic pressure favoring fluid absorption into the capillaries C) providing cloning factors that are ready to be activated D) transport of hormones E) being in osmotic balance with red blood cells

Explanation / Answer

36.C

Co2 and H20 combine in the presence of enzyme corbonic anhydrate to produce corbonic acid.

37. B

38. A

High altitude above 10000 feet is example of hypoxic hypoxia. This cause lungs deprived of oxygen.

39. E

Erythropoiesis is a process to produce Erythropoitin.
