The given figure shows the diagrammatic view of human respiratory system (sectional view of the left lung is also shown). Regarding the parts labelled as P, Q, R and S, which of the following statements are true?
 
I: P is an incomplete cartilaginous ring seen only in trachea and principal bronchus.
II: Q is the point where the trachea divides into a right and left primary bronchus and corresponds to the level of 5th thoracic vertebra.
III: R shows the double-layered pleura where the outer pleural membrane is in close contact with the thoracic lining.
IV: S is pleural cavity with minimal amount of pleural fluid which reduces friction on the lung surface.
 
1. Only I, II and III
2. Only I, III and IV
3. Only II, III and IV
4. I, II, III and IV

The figure shows the events happening during the inhalation and exhalation phases of pulmonary ventilation. Read the two given statements carefully.
  

I: A shows the inhalation phase brought about by the contraction of diaphragm that increases the volume of thorax in antero-posterior axis and by the contraction of external intercostal muscle that increases the volume of thorax in dorso-ventral axis.
II: B shows the exhalation phase brought about by the relaxation of diaphragm that decreases the volume of thorax in antero-posterior axis and by the contraction of internal intercostal muscle that decreases the volume of thorax in dorso-ventral axis.


1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect

Lower invertebrates like sponges, coelenterates, flatworms, etc., exchange O2 with CO2 by simple diffusion:
1. conducted to and from the tissues by a network of tubes.
2. over their entire body surface.
3. using their moist cuticle.
4. across the gills.

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): O2 gets bound to haemoglobin in the lung surface and gets dissociated at the tissues.
Reason (R): In the alveoli, there is high pO2, low pCO2, lesser H+ concentration and lower temperature whereas in the tissues, low pO2, high pCO2, high H+ concentration and higher temperature exist.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A)
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A)
3. (A) is True but (R) is False
4. (A) is False but (R) is True
