Select the correct statement:

1. Expiration occurs due to external intercostal muscles.
2. Intrapulmonary pressure is lower than atmospheric pressure during inspiration.
3. Inspiration occurs when atmospheric pressure is less than intrapulmonary pressure.
4. Expiration is initiated due to the contraction of the diaphragm.

Due to increasing air-borne allergens and pollutants, many people in urban areas are suffering from respiratory disorder causing wheezing due to:

1. reduction in the secretion of surfactants by pneumocytes
2. benign growth on mucous lining of nasal cavity
3. inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles 
4. proliferation of fibrous tissues and damage of the alveolar walls

Identify the wrong statement with reference to transport of oxygen:

1. Partial pressure of CO2 can interfere with O2 binding with haemoglobin.
2. Higher H+ concentration in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
3. Low pCO2 in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
4.  Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is mainly related to partial pressure of O2.
