Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
To describe what happens during expiration, we must know what baseline variable is in effect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
If the ventilator controls flow, the flow and volume waveforms will remain consistent, but pres-sure will vary with changes in respiratory mechanics. Flow can be controlled directly using something as simple as a flow meter or as complex as a proportional solenoid valve. Flow can be controlled indirectly by controlling volume.

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.

Complications of influenza include: bacterial pneumonia, ear and sinus infections, dehydration, and worsening of chronic conditions such as asthma, congestive heart failure, or diabetes.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
