Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Normal expired air contains approximately 4 to 6 CO2. A drug overdose depresses the respir-atory center, leading to a higher than normal PETCO2.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Ventilation with little or no perfusion at the level of the alveoli is known as functional dead space. An alveolar shunt occurs when alveoli are perfused but not ventilated. An anatomic shunt is the percentage of cardiac output that does not participate in gas exchange in the lung because of normal anatomy: Unoxygenated blood from the bronchopulmonary vein (lungs) and the thebesian veins (heart) empty directly into the left heart. Anatomic dead space includes all the conducting airways where no gas exchange occurs.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

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).
