What is unique regarding the blood supply to the lung?
 
  a. It receives blood from right and left ven-tricles.
  b. It requires no dedicated blood supply as it exists in a gas environment.
  c. Pulmonary venous drainage contributes to the normal anatomic shunt.
  d. The pulmonary arteries are the primary source of O2 for lung structures.

Question 2

  a. It is easier for infants to breathe.
  b. Their functional residual capacity is re-duced based on predicted body weight (PBW).
  c. They breathe larger tidal volumes based on IBW.
  d. They have less of a tendency to develop atelectasis.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The respiratory system is a unique organ in that it receives a double blood supply: one from the left ventricle and one from the right ventricle.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
With a more compliant thorax, the resultant balance of these static forces in the infant favors a reduced FRC and total lung capacity (TLC). Proportionately lower lung volumes in the infant can lead to early airway closure, atelectasis, ventilation/perfusion mismatch, shunting, and re-sultant hypoxemia.
