biology human body respiration in humans mechanism of respiration in animals human lungs

  1. Insulin

  2. Peptidoglycan

  3. Lecithin

  1. Attached to haemoglobin

  2. Dissolved in blood

  3. As bicarbonates

  4. As carbonates.

Show answer
Correct Option: C

Inspiration occurs when there is a negative pressure in the lungs with respect to atmospheric pressure. This negative pressure is achieved when

biology human body respiration in humans mechanism of respiration in animals human lungs

  1. intrapulmonary pressure is less than the atmospheric pressure

  2. intrapulmonary pressure is greater than the atmospheric pressure

  3. intrapulmonary pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure

  4. intrapleural pressure becomes more than the intra-alveolar pressure.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Because of the pressure gradient between the lungs and the atmosphere, the air moves into and out of the lungs. Inspiration occurs if the pressure within the lungs (intra-pulmonary pressure) is less than the atmospheric pressure i.e. there is a negative pressure in the lungs with respect to atmospheric pressure.

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
The lung is enclosed in a double layered membrane called

biology human body respiration in humans mechanism of respiration in animals human lungs

  1. pericardium

  2. pleura

  3. periosteum

  4. perichondrium

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The pleura refers to the double-layered membrane that covers the lungs. The space between the two membranes is called the pleural cavity. It is filled with a thin, lubricating liquid called pleural fluid, which acts as a lubricant and allows the pleurae to slide effortlessly against each other by reducing friction during respiratory movements. So, the correct option is 'pleura'.
