Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
As the H+ ions in the CSF are generated in direct relation to the level of arterial PCO2, it is really the arterial PCO2 that (indirectly) controls primary minute-to-minute ventilation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
When the PaO2 is low carotid body sensitivity to a given H+ increases; in this way hypoxemia increases ventilation for any given pH.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
