Explanation / Answer

The gas-exchange region in the lungs must be moist, thin and large. - (T) True

cause: the gases diffuse across a fluid medium and rate of diffusion varies directly with surface area and inversely with thickness of diffusing membrane.

During inhalation, the diaphragm is flattened. - (T) True

cause: As the diaphragm is flattened, the vertical diameter increases, increasing thoracic volume, decreasing intrathoracic and intra-pleural pressure, causing inhalation.

During exhalation, the lungs contain negative pressure. - (F) False

cause: For exhalation, the intrapleural pressure has to be positive in comparision to the atmosphere.

Because of diffusion, oxygen naturally moves out of the blood and into the lungs. - (T) True

cause: Diffusion occurs from higher partial pressure (alveoli) to lower partial pressure (pulmonary blood vessel) of oxygen.

Each red blood cell contains from 1-5 molecules of hemoglobin. - (F) False

cause: One molecule of hemoglobin can bind maximally to 4 molecules of oxygen.

Explain why incomplete ventillation is important for effective gas exchange.

Effective gas exchange in luns require adequate alveolar ventillation and pulmonary perfusion (blood flow). Only then, the exchange of gases can occur adequately. If any of these two factors are compromised, then exchange of gases will decrease.
