As blood travels through a systemic capillary and exchanges gases with systemic cells, the partial pressure of oxygen gas in the venule draining the capillary will be higher than the partial pressure of oxygen gas in the arteriole delivering blood to the capillary? True or false The diaphragm is an accessory breathing muscle activated only when increased breathing rate and depth are needed.

QUESTION 4 Tidal volume is the amount of air you move in during a forced inhalation. True False QUESTION 5 Most oxygen in the blood is transported: as gas dissolved in the plasma. as bicarbonate. as carbaminohemoglobin. as oxyhemoglobin.
In veins, myoglobin is more likely to keep its oxygen bound, whereas hemoglobin is more likely to release its bound oxygen. True False
