Answer: d. none of the above

Explanation:

The respiratory membrane is the membrane which separates the air inside the alveoli from the pulmonary capillaries. The types of respiratory membranes includes the alveoli membrane, the capillary membrane and the basement membrane. The respiratory membrane is usually very thin. But it becomes thick due to the increase in the fluid content, which actually forces the gases to diffuse through the membrane and the fluid. Also the pulmonary diseases can also cause the membrane to become thick.

Answer: Oxygen Deprivation

Explanation:

The thickening of the respiratory membranes may result in the oxygen deprivation. The function of membrane is to help in gaseous exchange.

The carbon dioxide is removed out of the body and oxygen is inhaled inside. Thickening of the membrane will reduce the ability to exchange gas which will make the body deprive of oxygen.

There are may diseases in which the thickening of the respiratory membranes takes place.Example: pulmonary fibrosis.

dem82 [27]

The correct answer is D) An apparently longer survival time among persons identified during a screening program because they were identified at an earlier stage of their disease

Explanation:

In medicine, screening is a method to diagnose diseases even if the person has no symptoms; due to this, screening is related to earlier detection of diseases than traditional diagnosis based on symptoms. Early diagnosis does not imply longer survival time, but it can lead to doctors or individuals to perceive the survival time was longer, this phenomenon is known as lead-time bias.

For example, a person diagnosed with cancer at an early stage when he is 45 years old,  dies at 50 years old, this means his survival time was 5 years. If the same person is diagnosed at 48 years based on symptoms and he dies at 50 it seems the survival time is less (2 years); however, this is biased as the diagnosis did not change the effect of the disease. According to this, lead-time bias can be described as "an apparently longer survival time among persons identified during a screening program because they were identified at an earlier stage of their disease".
