A patient who has suffered a spinal injury in an automobile accident is determined to have an interruption of spinal transmission at the sixth cervical vertebra.
 
  Which of the following gastrointestinal functions would be expected to be abnormal in such a patient?
 
  A. gastric acid secretion
  B. lipid digestion/absorption
  C. defecation
  D. peristalsis
  E. swallowing
  F. none of the above



(Question 2) A 16-year-old female develops shortness of breath, runny nose, wheezing, and chest tightening with no fever.
 
  A spirometry test is performed and revealed that her FEV1 is reduced, and her FEV1 to FVC ratio is abnormal. Her FEV1 improves by 15 after bronchodilator use. A chest x-ray is also performed. The family mentions that they purchased a cat several weeks ago. You suspect allergic asthma.
 
  Increased levels of what type of serum antibody would you like to see to confirm your diagnosis?
 
  A. IgA
  B. IgG
  C. IgM
  D. IgE
  E. IgD



(Question 3) A 50-year-old male coal miner has a long history of lung disease. Where in the lung would you expect to find the greatest deposition of inhaled coal dust?
 
  A. terminal bronchioles
  B. bronchi
  C. nonrespiratory bronchioles
  D. alveolus
  E. trachea



(Question 4) A 56-year-old woman has worked in a photography shop developing film for the past 20 years. She has a long history of shortness of breath and chronic cough, which have progressively become worse.
 
  Her FEV1 and FVC values were reduced but her FEV1/FVC ratio was within the normal range. Her diffusion capacity as measured by DLCO was low at 15 mL/min/mm Hg. A bronchoalveolar lavage and tissue biopsy were performed. The lavage sample revealed high numbers of macrophages but of abnormal appearance and high numbers of dead macrophages.
 
  What type of pathology would you expect to find?
 
  A. peribronchial inflammation with eosinophils
  B. granulomatous-like lesion in the terminal bronchioles with interstitial fibrosis and large foamy macrophages
  C. interstitial edema fluid accumulation with neutrophil infiltrate
  D. emphysematous lesion with large alveoli and minimum interstitial fibrosis



(Question 5) The four cell types that contribute to the quantity and composition of mucus include:
 
  A. type II epithelial cells, mucous and serous cells within the submucosal tracheobronchial glands, and Clara cells
  B. type II epithelial cells, mucous cells within the submucosal tracheobronchial glands, goblet cells, and Clara cells
  C. type II epithelial cells, mucous and serous cells within the submucosal tracheobronchial glands, and goblet cells
  D. goblet cells, mucous and serous cells within the submucosal tracheobronchial glands, and Clara cells



(Question 6) The respiratory pacemaker is located in:
 
  A. the dorsal respiratory group
  B. the ventral respiratory group
  C. the cerebral cortex
  D. chest wall joints and muscles



(Question 7) Mild-moderate exercise is associated with:
 
  A. increases in arterial PCO2
  B. decreases in arterial PO2
  C. normal pH
  D. lactic acidosis
  E. anaerobic metabolism



(Question 8) The ventilatory response to CO2 is enhanced by:
 
  A. hypoxia
  B. alkalosis
  C. sleep
  D. barbiturates



(Question 9) Irritant receptors in the lower airway respond to all except:
 
  A. chemical vapors
  B. physical factors
  C. distortion of the alveolar walls
  D. particles



(Question 10) A 56-year-old woman has worked in a photography shop developing film for the past 20 years.
 
  She has a long history of shortness of breath and chronic cough, which have progressively become worse. Her FEV1 and FVC values were reduced, but her FEV1/FVC ratio was within the normal range. Her diffusion capacity as measured by DLCO was low at 15 mL/min/mm Hg. A bronchoalveolar lavage and tissue biopsy were performed. The lavage sample revealed high numbers of macrophages but of abnormal appearance and high numbers of dead macrophages.
 
  What type of lung disease do you suspect?
 
  A. restrictive disease
  B. obstructive disease
  C. infectious disease
  D. lung cancer
  E. genetically inherited disease
