Assertion (A): The anatomical setup of lungs in thorax is such that any change in the volume of the thoracic cavity will be reflected in the lungs cavity.
Reason (R): The thoracic chamber is formed dorsally by the vertebral column, ventrally by sternum, laterally by the ribs and on the lower side by diaphragm.
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true, but (R) is false.

Select the incorrect statement among the following:
1. The nasal cavity leads to the larynx, an intersection where the paths for food and air cross.
2. Air enters through the nostrils and is then filtered by hair, warmed, humidified, and sampled for odors as it flows through a maze of spaces in the nasal cavity.
3. The trachea branches into two bronchi, one leading to each lung.
4. During the swallowing of food glottis can be covered by a thin elastic cartilaginous flap called epiglottis.
