The conducting part of the human respiratory system is not involved in:
| I: | clearing inhaled air from foreign particles |
| II: | humidifying the exhaled air |
| III: | bringing the air to a temperature higher than body temperature |
| 1. | Only I | 2. | Only II and III |

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

Lower invertebrates like sponges, coelenterates, flatworms, etc., exchange O2 with CO2 by simple diffusion:
1. conducted to and from the tissues by a network of tubes.
2. over their entire body surface.
3. using their moist cuticle.
4. across the gills.

It is necessary that lungs must be present in anatomically air-tight chamber because:
| 1. | we cannot directly alter the pulmonary volume |
| 2. | our lungs are not made of any elastic tissue |
| 3. | the pleural cavity always has a positive pressure with respect to pulmonary pressure |
| 4. | the partial pressure of oxygen in atmosphere is less than that in the alveoli |
