Q. No.Consider the following two statements:
| I: | The lungs are situated in the thoracic chamber which is anatomically an air-tight chamber. |
| II: | This arrangement is essential as we cannot directly alter the thoracic volume. |
| 1. | Both I and II are correct and II correctly explains I |
| 2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
| 3. | I is correct and II is incorrect |
| 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
Consider the following statements:
| I: | The thoracic chamber is anatomically an air tight chamber. |
| II: | Any change in the volume of the thoracic cavity will be reflected in the pulmonary cavity. |
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct and I explains II
3. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
4. Both I and II are incorrect
Under normal resting conditions, almost all respiratory effort is due to:
1. contraction and relaxation of diaphragm
2. elevation of rib cage
3. depression of rib cage
4. contraction of abdominal muscles
When the diaphragm or external intercostal muscles contract, intrapulmonary pressure should
| 1. | increase | 2. | decrease |
| 3. | remain constant | 4. | equal atmospheric pressure |
| I: | Relaxation of the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles causes the expulsion of air from the lungs. |
| II: | Relaxation of the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles increases the volume of thoracic chamber in the antero-posterior axis. |
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. I is incorrect but II is correct
The volume of thoracic chamber in the antero-posterior axis can be increased by:
1. Contraction of diaphragm
2. Relaxation of diaphragm
3. Contraction of external intercostals
4. Contraction of internal intercostals
| 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. |
1. 4-8 times/minute.
2. 8-12 times/minute.
3. 12-16 times/minute.
4.16-20 times/minute.
