Tidal Volume and Expiratory Reserve Volume of an
athlete is 500 mL and 1000 mL respectively. What
will be his Expiratory Capacity if the Residual
Volume is 1200 mL?
In humans, respiration occurs in the following steps. Arrange these steps in the correct order.
(A) Diffusion of O2 and CO2 between blood and tissues.
(B) Diffusion of O2 and CO2 across the alveolar membrane.
(C) Pulmonary ventilation by which atmospheric air is drawn in and CO2-rich alveolar air is released out.
(D) Cellular respiration.
(E) Transport of gases by the blood.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Respiration begins with pulmonary ventilation, followed by exchange of gases across the alveolar membrane, transport by blood, exchange between blood and tissues, and finally cellular respiration.
