4. All of these

Which of the following statements is not correct?

1. Volume of air that will remain in the lungs after a normal expiration is about 2200 ml

2. Partial pressure of ${\mathrm{O}}_2$ and ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ in alveoli is 40 mm Hg and 104 mm Hg respectively

3. Alveoli of lungs are lined by thin squamous epithelium

1. Thin squamous epithelium

2. Pseudostratified ciliated epithelium

3. Endothelium

4. Basement membrane
