1. | Contraction of internal costal muscles leads to inhalation |
2. | Contraction of diaphragm increases the volume of thoracic chamber in dorso-ventral axis |
3. | Inspiration occurs when there is a negative pressure in the lungs with respect to atmospheric pressure |
4. | The residual volume of the lungs averages 2500 ml to 3000 ml |

In the regulation of respiration, a chemosensitive area adjacent to the rhythm centre in the medulla region of the brain, is highly sensitive to:
1. \(HCO^-_3\)
2. \(CO_2\)
3. \(O_2\)
4. \(N_2\)
