Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
B. Correct response: The effect of general anesthesia or mechanical ventilation on regional pleural pressure in humans is not well described, though it is known that muscle tone decreases during anesthesia, increasing chest wall elastance and thus increasing pleural pressure. This effect helps explain the diminished FRC and eventual development of atelectasis in the dependent regions of normal subjects undergoing prolonged mechanical ventilation for elective surgery.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation B.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation B.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation D.
D. Correct response: Regional lung inflation depends on the local transpulmonary pressure, which is the difference between the pressure in the alveoli and pressure at the pleural surface. That is,
Ptranspulmonary = Ppleural Palveolar
At FRC and at end-inspiration, alveolar pressure equals atmospheric pressure. Therefore transpulmonary pressure equals pleural pressure.

Asthma-like symptoms were first recorded about 3,500 years ago in Egypt.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
