Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): It is essential for breathing that the anatomical setup of lungs in thorax is such that any change in the volume of the thoracic cavity will be reflected in the lung (pulmonary) cavity.
Reason (R): We cannot directly alter the pulmonary volume.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.

The conducting part of the human respiratory system:
I: transports the atmospheric air to the alveoli
II: clears inhaled air from foreign particles
III: humidifies and also brings the air to body temperature
IV: is the site of actual diffusion of O2 and CO2 between blood and atmospheric air

1. Only I and II are correct
2. Only II and IV are correct
3. Only I, II and III are correct
4. Only II, III and IV are correct

Regarding pulmonary circulation in humans:
I: Oxygen rich blood returns from the lungs to the heart through the pulmonary arteries.
II: Oxygen poor blood leaves the heart and goes to the lungs through the pulmonary veins.
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect

Vital capacity is defined as:
1. Total volume of air a person can inspire after a normal expiration.
2. Volume of air that will remain in the lungs after a normal expiration.
3. Total volume of air a person can expire after a normal inspiration.
4. The maximum volume of air a person can breathe in after a forced expiration

Inhalation is brought about by:
1. Relaxation of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles
2. Contraction of the diaphragm and relaxation of intercostal muscles
3. Contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, decreasing thoracic volume
4. Contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, increasing thoracic volume

Lungs are made up of air-filled sacs, the alveoli. They do not collapse even after forceful expiration, because of
1. Residual Volume (RV)
2. Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV)
3. Tidal Volume (TV)
4. Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
