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 |

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
The figure shows pulmonary volumes as measured on a spirometer. Which of the following will be true?
I. A+B = Inspiratory Reserve Volume II. C+D = Functional Residual Capacity III. B+C = Tidal Volume IV. [(A+B+C+D) – (A+B+C)] = Residual Volume |
1. Only I is true | 2. Only II is true |
3. I and II are true | 4. I and II are false |
