When you take a deep breath, your stomach moves out because
| 1. | swallowing air increases the volume of the thoracic cavity |
| 2. | your stomach shouldn’t move out when you take a deep breath because you want the volume of your chest cavity to increase, not your abdominal cavity |
| 3. | contracting your abdominal muscles pushes your stomach out, generating negative pressure in your lungs. |
| 4. | when your diaphragm contracts, it moves down, pressing your abdominal cavity out. |

Arrange in the correct sequence in respect of respiration:
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. A > B > C > D > E
2. A > C > D > B > E
3. D > B > C > E > A
4. A > D > C > B > E
| A. | Breathing or pulmonary ventilation by which air is drawn in and CO2 rich air is released out |
| B. | Diffusion of O2 and CO2 between blood and tissue |
| C. | Transport of gases by the blood |
| D. | Diffusion of O2 and CO2 across alveolar membrane |
| E. | Utilization of O2 by the cells for catabolic reactions and resultant release of CO2 |
1. A > B > C > D > E
2. A > C > D > B > E
3. D > B > C > E > A

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?
1. Only I, II and III
2. Only I, III and IV
3. Only II, III and IV
4. I, II, III and IV
| 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
