Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Increased airway resistance, due to bronchoconstriction or airway collapse, is a complication of forced exhalation required to perform peak expiratory flows maneuvers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The inspiratory hold maneuver shows the pressure to maintain the tidal volume within the pa-tient's lungs during a period of no gas flow; this is the Pplateau.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
