Which of these statements about air flow into the lungs is incorrect? |
| | A) | At the end of expiration, alveolar pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure; no air flows. |
| | B) | During inspiration, alveolar pressure is less than atmospheric pressure, and air flows into the alveoli. |
| | C) | At the end of inspiration, alveolar pressure and atmospheric pressure are equal; no air is flowing. |
| | D) | For expiration, thoracic volume decreases, alveolar pressure decreases, and air flows out. |
| | E) | During inspiration, the volume of the thoracic cavity increases. |
|
|
8 | |
Recoil of the lungs occurs because of |

| | E) | both c and d |
|
|
9 | |
Surfactant |
| | A) | reduces surface tension of the fluid lining the alveoli. |
| | B) | increases pleural pressure. |
| | C) | decreases alveolar pressure. |
| | D) | makes inspiration more difficult. |
| | E) | can cause a pneumothorax. |
|
|
