Lungs are made up of air-filled sacs, the alveoli. They do not collapse even after forceful expiration, because of:

1. Inspiratory Reserve Volume

2. Tidal Volume

3. Expiratory Reserve Volume

4. Residual Volume

Lungs do not collapse between breaths and some air always remains in the lungs which can never be expelled because?

1. there is a negative pressure in the lungs
2. there is a negative intrapleural pressure pulling at the lung walls
3. there is a positive intrapleural pressure
4. pressure in the lungs is higher than the atmospheric pressure

The figure shows a diagrammatic view of the human respiratory system with labels A, B, C, and D. Select the option that gives the correct identification, main function, and/or characteristics:

1. B-pleural membrane- surrounds ribs on both sides to provide cushion against rubbing.
2. C-alveoli-thin walled vascular bag-like structures for the exchange of gases.
3. D-lower end of the lungs-diaphragm pulls it down during inspiration.
4. A trachea-long tube supported by complete cartilaginous rings for conducting inspired air.
