Statement I: | The outer pleural membrane is in close contact with the thoracic lining. |
Statement II: | The inner pleural membrane is in contact with the lung surface. |
Statement III: | The part starting with the external nostrils up to the terminal bronchioles constitutes the respiratory or exchange part of the respiratory system. |
Statement IV: | The alveoli and their ducts form the conducting part of the respiratory system. |

Assertion (A): | Inspiration can occur if there is a negative pressure in the lungs with respect to atmospheric pressure. |
Reason (R): | The thoracic chamber is an airtight chamber. |
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, (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False, (R) is True |
Assertion (A): | An increase in pulmonary volume will cause inspiration. |
Reason (R): | An increase in pulmonary volume increases the intra-pulmonary pressure to more than the atmospheric pressure. |
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. |
Assertion (A): | Relaxation of the diaphragm and the inter-costal muscles brings about inspiration. |
Reason (R): | Relaxation of the diaphragm and the inter-costal muscles leads to an increase in intra-pulmonary pressure to slightly above the atmospheric pressure. |
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 |
Statement I: | Expiratory Capacity is the total volume of air a person can expire after a normal inspiration. |
Statement II: | Functional Residual Capacity is the volume of air that will remain in the lungs after a forceful maximal expiration. |
I: | The maximum volume of air a person can breathe in after a normal expiration. |
II: | The maximum volume of air a person can breathe out after a normal inspiration. |
