Due to increasing air-borne allergens and pollutants, many people in urban areas are suffering from respiratory disorder causing wheezing due to :

  1. Proliferation of fibrous tissues and damage of the alveolar walls
  2. Reduction in the secretion of surfactants by pneumocytes
  3. Benign growth on mucous lining of nasal cavity
  4. Inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles

Answer

(4) Inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles

Solution

As per NCERT, asthma is a difficulty in breathing causing wheezing due to inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles.

Allergens and air pollutants trigger asthma.

Damage of the alveolar walls describes emphysema; proliferation of fibrous tissue describes occupational lung disease (fibrosis); a benign nasal growth is a polyp.

Wheezing is due to inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles.

Which of the following is an occupational respiratory disorder?

  1. Botulism
  2. Anthracis
  3. Silicosis
  4. Emphysema

Lungs are made up of air-filled sacs, the alveoli. They do not collapse even after forceful expiration, because of

  1. inspiratory reserve volume
  2. tidal volume
  3. expiratory reserve volume
  4. residual volume.

Reduction in pH of blood will

  1. decrease the affinity of haemoglobin with oxygen
  2. release bicarbonate ions by the liver
  3. reduce the rate of heart beat
  4. reduce the blood supply to the brain.

Name the chronic respiratory disorder caused mainly by cigarette smoking.

  1. Respiratory acidosis
  2. Respiratory alkalosis
  3. Emphysema
  4. Asthma
NEET 2016 (Phase 1)
8

Asthma may be attributed to

  1. inflammation of the trachea
  2. accumulation of fluid in the lungs
  3. bacterial infection of the lungs
  4. allergic reaction of the mast cells in the lungs.
NEET 2016 (Phase 1)
9

The partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli of the lungs is

  1. equal to that in the blood
  2. more than that in the blood
  3. less than that in the blood
  4. less than that of carbon dioxide.
NEET 2016 (Phase 2)
10

Lungs do not collapse between breaths and some air always remains in the lungs which can never be expelled because

  1. there is a negative pressure in the lungs
  2. there is a negative intrapleural pressure pulling at the lung walls
  3. there is a positive intrapleural pressure
  4. pressure in the lungs is higher than the atmospheric pressure.
NEET 2016 (Phase 2)

Name the pulmonary disease in which alveolar surface area involved in gas exchange is drastically reduced due to damage in the alveolar walls.

  1. Pneumonia
  2. Asthma
  3. Pleurisy
  4. Emphysema
