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. |

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. |

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. |
