Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The isothermic saturation boundary shifts deeper into the lungs when a person inhales through cold, dry air. In this case, the cilia function decreases and secretions are produced, increasing airway resistance. The turbulent convection increases contact between the inspired air and the mucosa.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
As the inspired air enters the nose, it is warmed by convection, not by conduction, and picks up water vapor from the moist mucosal lining by evaporation, not by condensation.

Most strokes are caused when blood clots move to a blood vessel in the brain and block blood flow to that area. Thrombolytic therapy can be used to dissolve the clot quickly. If given within 3 hours of the first stroke symptoms, this therapy can help limit stroke damage and disability.

Asthma-like symptoms were first recorded about 3,500 years ago in Egypt. The first manuscript specifically written about asthma was in the year 1190, describing a condition characterized by sudden breathlessness. The treatments listed in this manuscript include chicken soup, herbs, and sexual abstinence.
