What is the use of breathing circuits?
A
To deliver gases from anesthesia machine to the patient
B
To convert liquid anesthetizing gases to vapors
C
To increase the pressure of oxygen
D
To connect the oxygen cylinder to the machine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anesthesia breathing systems serve as a conduit to deliver anesthetic and other gases to a patient. Various designs of breathing systems have been created to serve this function. One method of classifying anesthesia breathing systems is based on how gas flows: open, semi-open, semi-closed, and closed systems.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gas Flow Through the Anesthesia Machine Gas (oxygen, air, nitrous oxide) enters the anesthesia machine through a pipeline supply and cylinder gas supply. The primary source of gas is typically the pipeline supply, which functions at 45 to 60 psi (the intermediate pressure system).

Detailed explanation-3: -most modern anaesthetic machines or stations incorporate a circle breathing system (see Chapter 4) and a bag-in-bottle type ventilator (see Chapter 8).
