Q. No.A minimal amount of pleural fluid present in the pleural cavity:
| 1. | provides a medium for the exchange of respiratory gases |
| 2. | reduces friction between the visceral and parietal pleurae |
| 3. | provides lubrication for movements of the diaphragm |
| 4. | permits the exchange of electrolytes during respiration |

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 |

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 |
