Cigarette smoking causes emphysema. Give reason.
Explanation
Emphysema is a chronic disorder of respiratory system, where inflation or abnormal distension of alveolar wall occurs. Cigarette smoking and the inhalation of other smoke or toxic substances over a period of time causes the damaging of septa between the alveoli, and of its elastic tissue is replaced by the connective tissue in lungs. Hence, the respiratory surface decreases, thus causing the emphysema. It causes shortness of breath, production of sputum, chronic bronchitis, etc.

What is the amount of $0_2$ supplied to tissues through every 100 mL of oxygenated blood under normal physiological conditions?
Explanation
Every 100 mL of oxygenated blood can deliver around 5 mL of $\mathrm{O}_2$ to the tissue under normal physiological conditions.
21
A major percentage $(97 \%)$ of $O_2$ is transported by RBCs in the blood. How does the remaining percentage ( $3 \%$ ) of $\mathrm{O}_2$ transported?
Explanation
About $97 \%$ of $\mathrm{O}_2$ is transported by RBCs in the blood. The remaining $3 \%$ of $\mathrm{O}_2$ is carried in a dissolved state through the plasma.

Complete the missing terms

(a) Inspiratory Capacity (IC) $=\ldots+$ IRV

(b) $\ldots=\mathrm{TV}+\mathrm{ERV}$

(c) Functional Residual Capacity $(F R C)=E R V+\ldots$

Explanation

(a) Inspiratory Capacity $(\mathrm{IC})=(\mathrm{TV})+(\mathrm{IRV})$ Tidal Volume. Inspiratory Reserve Volume

(b) Expiratory Capacity $(\mathrm{EC})=(\mathrm{TV}+\mathrm{ERV})$ Tidal Volume. Expiratory Reserve Volume

(c) Functional Residual Capacity $(F R C)=(E R V)$ Expiratory $+(R V)$ Reserve Volume. Residual Volume
