| (d) | Bringing the temperature of air upto the body temperature. |
| (e) | Making the incoming air humid by providing moisture produced by epithelium of nasal cavities. |
| (f) | Transporting the atmospheric air to the alveoli. |
| Assertion (A): | Thoracic chamber is anatomically an air-tight chamber and any change in its volume has no effect whatsoever on the pulmonary cavity. |

| 4. | (A) is false, but (R) is true. |
| Assertion (A): | Alveoli are the major site of exchange of gases. |
| Reason (R): | CO2 and O2 are exchanged at alveoli by simple diffusion. |
| 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). |

| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
| Assertion (A): | In the walls of bronchi and bronchioles are present stretch receptors. |
| Reason (R): | Stretch receptors are stimulated by overstretching of the lungs. |

| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
| Assertion (A): | Nasopharynx is a portion of pharynx present above the soft palate at the back of the nose. |
| Reason (R): | Major chamber opens into nasopharynx through the internal nares. |
| 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. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
| Assertion (A): | The tracheae, primary, secondary and tertiary bronchi and initial bronchioles are supported by incomplete cartilaginous rings. |
| Reason (R): | The cartilaginous rings prevent these structure from collapsing. |

| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
| Assertion (A): | The two lungs are covered by a double-layered pleura, with pleural fluid between them. |
| Reason (R): | Pleural fluid reduces the friction on the lung surface. |
