Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
VFRC = V  P  (PB  PH2O), where V and P are the box volume and alveolar pressure changes measured during the panting maneuver, PB is the ambient barometric pressure, and PH2O is the water vapor pressure (assume 47 mm Hg for 37 C).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The end point of the helium dilution test is reached when the helium percentage remains steady for 2 minutes, indicating that the helium is equilibrated between the spirometer and the patient's lungs.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
