Lungs are made up of air-filled sacs, the alveoli. They do not collapse even after forceful expiration, because of

1. Residual Volume (RV)

2. Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)

3. Tidal Volume (TV)

4. Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)

Lungs do not collapse between breaths and some air always remains in the lungs which can never be expelled because

(1) there is a negative pressure in the lungs

(2) there is a negative intrapleural pressure pulling at the lung walls

(3) there is a positive intrapleural pressure

(4) pressure in the lungs in higher than the atmospheric pressure

and D. Select the option, which gives correct identification and main function and/or

characteristic.

1. A-trachea-long tube supported by complete cartilaginous rings for conducting

inspired air

2. 8-pleural membrane-surround ribs on both sides to provide cushion against rubbing

3. C-alveoli-thin walled vascular bag-like structures for exchange of gases
