Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
VFRC = V  P  (PB  PH2O), where V and P are the box volume and alveolar pressure changes measured during the panting maneuver, PB is the ambient barometric pressure, and PH2O is the water vapor pressure (assume 47 mm Hg for 37 C).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The end point of the helium dilution test is reached when the helium percentage remains steady for 2 minutes, indicating that the helium is equilibrated between the spirometer and the patient's lungs.

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).
