Module 05 Quiz The Respiratory and Urinary Systems

Question 1

Gas exchange in the lungs occurs in the:

Answers:

Alveolar ducts

Alveoli

Bronchi

Trachea

Question 2

For air to enter into the lungs, the intrapulmonary pressure (pressure within the lungs) has to be higher than the atmospheric pressure.

Answers:

True

False

Question 3

What portion of the nephron is charged with making urine?

Answers:

Afferent arteriole

Bowman’s capsule

Renal corpuscle

Renal tubule

Question 4

Renal insufficiency occurs when there is extensive damage to nephrons, impairing the ability of the kidney to function.

Answers:

True

False

Question 5

Which hormone causes an increase in blood volume and pressure?

Answers:

Atrial natriuretic peptide

Antidiuretic hormone

Growth hormone

Parathyroid hormone

Question 6

What is the role of the epiglottis?

Answers:

Prevents food and liquids from entering into the larynx and trachea

Helps filter the incoming air

Prevents the collapse of the lungs

Provides moisture to the incoming air

Question 7

The respiratory muscles allow for the thoracic cavity to expand, which increases the lung volume and decreases the intrapulmonary pressure.

Answers:

True

False

Question 8

What is the main muscle involved in pulmonary ventilation?

Answers:

Rectus abdominis

External intercostals

Diaphragm

Internal intercostals

Question 9

What muscle is not involved in the pulmonary ventilation (respiration) process?

Answers:

Diaphragm muscle

Sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle

Intercostal muscles

Latissimus dorsi muscle

Question 10

For oxygen gas exchange to occur between the lungs and circulatory system (blood vessels) there has to be a high concentration of oxygen in the blood vessels and a low concentration of oxygen in the lungs.

Answers:

True

False

Question 11

What statement is true regarding the upper respiratory system?

Answers:

It consists of the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, and trachea.

The pharynx contains the vocal cords.

The epiglottis assists filtering the incoming air.

The nasal cavity will assist in filtering, warming, and humidifying the incoming air.

Question 12

The urethra transports urine from the kidney to the bladder.

Answers:

True

False

Question 13

Reabsorption of nutrients and substances within the kidneys occurs within the renal tubular portion of the nephron.

Answers:

True

False

Question 14

What is the basic functional tissue of the urinary system?

Answers:

Bladder

Ureter

Nephron

Kidney

Question 15

The pleura of the lungs assist in the pulmonary ventilation and allow the lungs to expand without any friction in the thoracic cavity.

Answers:

True

False

Question 16

Which respiratory condition is marked by spasms in the bronchi making it difficult to breathe?

Answers:

Asthma

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder

Cystic fibrosis

Pulmonary fibrosis

Question 17

What statement is true regarding the kidneys?

Answers:

Both kidneys share one ureter that drains to the bladder.

Internally, it is only composed of the medulla region.

Damage to the nephrons will cause kidney dysfunction and impairment to their overall function.

The erythrocytes are commonly filtered into the Bowman’s capsule region.

Question 18

The term micturition refers to the process of sending urine down from the kidneys to the bladder.

Answers:

True

False

Question 19

Which portion of the nephron is involved in producing the filtrate from the blood?

Answers:

Renal corpuscle

Collecting duct

Renal tubule

Ureter

Question 20

The glomerulus is the portion of the nephron that fluid, mostly blood plasma, is filtered out of and is collected in the Bowman’s capsule.

Answers:

True

False
