Involuntary hyperventilation during an anxiety attack can cause the person to become faint because of:
| 1. | increased levels caused by increase in cellular respiration, reducing brain perfusion and causing ischemia |
| 2. | decreased levels in the blood, causing cells to lack enough ATP |
| 3. | effects of increased levels in the blood and consequent constriction of cerebral blood vessels |
| 4. | lowered levels in the blood and consequent constriction of cerebral blood vessels |
A pulmonary disorder reduces the forced expiratory volume in first second but does not significantly affect the vital capacity. This disorder will be most accurately described as:

| 2. | pulmonary fibrosis |
| 3. | pneumoconiosis |
| 4. | obstructive lung disorder |
