Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
In the presence of pulmonary disease (either obstructive or restrictive), the oxygen cost of breathing may increase dramatically with increasing ventilation (Figure 11-13). In an obstructive disease such as emphysema, increased ventilation causes the oxygen consumption of the respira-tory muscles to increase rapidly.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
In healthy individuals, the mechanical work of breathing depends on the pattern of ventilation. High breathing rates (and hence, high flows) increase frictional work. Patients who have airway obstruction (i.e., increased Raw) also experience increased frictional work of breathing.
