Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Air-trapping occurs with incomplete emptying of lung units. Lung units prone to air-trapping are those with long-time constants (i.e., with high resistance or high compliance).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
By effectively increasing the time constant of the lung, high expiratory resistance prolongs exha-lation to the point at which air trapping begins (Figure 46-21, B). Any shortening of the expira-tory time (Figure 46-21, C) aggravates the problem and increases both distal airway pressure and lung volume (auto-PEEP).

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
