Of the following, which does not explain why the partial pressure of oxygen is lower in the lung than in the external air? Air in the lung is humidified; therefore, water vapor pressure alters the pressure Carbon dioxide mixes with oxygen Oxygen is moved into the blood and is headed to the tissues Lungs exert a pressure on the air to reduce the oxygen pressure.

Humphrey has smoked for years. In the past few months, mucushas accumulated in his lungs and he coughs often. A tissue sample(biopsy) taken from the lower portion of his trachea indicated thatstratified squamous epithelium has replaced the normal pseudostratified columnar epithelium lining the trachea. Humphrey’s physicianexplained that he has bronchitis, inflammation of the respiratoryairways, caused by smoking. As a result, some of the normal epithelium of the large respiratory passageways has been converted tostratified squamous epithelium. Explain why mucus has accumulated in Humphrey’s lungs to a greater degree than normal.
