### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Breathing Mechanics**: Breathing involves the movement of air into and out of the lungs, which is facilitated by pressure changes within the respiratory system. 2. **Intrapleural Pressure Definition**: Intrapleural pressure is the pressure within the pleural cavity, the space between the lungs and the chest wall. It is typically negative relative to atmospheric pressure. 3. **Phases of Breathing**: During a normal, quiet breath, there are two main phases: inhalation (inspiration) and exhalation (expiration). ...
