Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
REM sleep is characterized by the following physiologic effects on respiration: irregular pattern of breathing; short, central apneas; variable and elevated PaCO2 (2-8 mm Hg above wakefulness); inhibited rib cage muscles; inhibited upper airway muscles; decreased chemoresponsiveness; and high threshold of arousability to respiratory stimuli.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Stage 2 non-REM sleep is identified on a sleeper's electroencephalogra m by the appearance of sleep spindles and K-complexes. Relatively low-voltage, mixed-frequency waves occur during non-REM stage 1 sleep. Delta waves are present during slow-wave sleep or non-REM sleep stages 3 and 4.
