Fill up the blanks in the following paragraph by selecting the correct option. The movement of air into and out of the lungs is carried out by creating a (i).____ between the lungs and the atmosphere. Inspiration can occur if intra-pulmonary pressure is (ii).____ Expiration takes place when the intra-pulmonary pressure is (iii).____ than the atmospheric pressure. Expiration takes place when the intra-inspiration is initiated by the (iv).____ of diaphragm which (v).____the volume of thoracic chamber in the antero-posterior axis.

What happens when pressure within the pulmonary cavity is higher than the atmospheric pressure?

Asertiion : Inspirations occurs when there is a negative pressure in the lungs with respect to the atmospheric pressure. Reason : During inspiration, a decrease in pulmonary volume increases the intre-pulmonary pressure than atmospheric pressure which forces the air from outside to moe into the lungs.

Between breaths, the intrapleural pressure is approximately ……. Mm Hg less than atmospheric pressure.
