It is necessary that lungs must be present in anatomically air-tight chamber because:
1. | we cannot directly alter the pulmonary volume |
2. | our lungs are not made of any elastic tissue |
3. | the pleural cavity always has a positive pressure with respect to pulmonary pressure |
4. | the partial pressure of oxygen in atmosphere is less than that in the alveoli |
