Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Pulse oximetry provides continuous, noninvasive measurements of arterial oxygen saturation. A sensor is placed over a digit, an earlobe, the forehead or the bridge of the nose; this sensor measures the absorption of selected wavelengths of light beamed through the tissue (Fig. 10-1). For example, oxyhemoglobin can be differentiated from deoxygenated hemoglobin by shining two wavelengths of light (660 and 940 nm) through the sampling site. As Figure 10-2 illustrates, at a wavelength of 660 nm (red light), deoxygenated hemoglobin absorbs more light than oxy-hemoglobin. Conversely, oxyhemoglobin absorbs more light at 940 nm (infrared light IR) than does deoxygenated hemoglobin.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The definition of preload is the filling pressure of the ventricle at the end of ventricular diastole.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
