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 |

1. 10 ml
2. 2 ml
3. 5 ml
4. 4 ml
1. | Provides surface for diffusion of O2 and CO2 |
