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.
