Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Progressive falls in blood hemoglobin content cause large drops in arterial O2 content (CaO2). In fact, a 33 decrease in hemoglobin content (from 15 to 10 g/dl) reduces the CaO2 as much as would a drop in PaO2 from 100 to 40 mm Hg.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Dysoxia is a form of hypoxia in which the cellular uptake of O2 is abnormally decreased. The best example of dysoxia is cyanide poisoning. Cyanide disrupts the intracellular cytochrome oxidase system, thereby preventing cellular use of O2.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
