TRUE/FALSE: Choose (A) for True or (B) for False for #29-34 29. Lung compliance describes how easily the lungs can be expanded (A) 30. Sympathetic nervous system stimulation of the bronchioles results in an increase in airway resistance and decrease in airflow (B) 31. Oxygen is more soluble in blood plasma than carbon dioxide (B) 32. When the body is at rest, one pass of the blood through tissue capillaries typically results in 25% of oxygen molecules being released from hemoglobin
