Reproductive System Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
When blood CO₂ levels rise:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Elevated CO₂ causes respiratory acidosis (B) from H⁺ increase. Breathing increases (not decreases, A, D), pressure receptors (C) are unrelated.
Question 2 of 5
In normally functioning lungs, the intrathoracic pressure is always greater than the intrapulmonic pressure.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: False (B): Intrathoracic (pleural) pressure is less than intrapulmonic (alveolar) during inspiration to draw air in. True (A) is incorrect.
Question 3 of 5
The vomer and sphenoid form the bony framework of the nasal septum.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: False (B): Vomer and perpendicular plate of ethmoid (not sphenoid) form the septum. True (A) is incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
An increased body temperature increases the ability of hemoglobin to supply O₂ to tissues.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: True (A): Higher temperature shifts the O₂ dissociation curve right, releasing O₂ to tissues (Bohr effect). False (B) is incorrect.
Question 5 of 5
Apnea frequently follows hyperventilation.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: True (A): Hyperventilation lowers CO₂, reducing breathing drive, often causing apnea. False (B) is incorrect.
