Neet Solved Paper 2013 Question 59
Question: The figure shows a diagrammatic view of human respiratory system with labels A, B, C and D. Select the option, which gives correct identification and main function and/or characteristic.
Options:
A) A-trachea-long tube supported by complete cartilaginous rings for conducting inspired air
B) B-pleural membrane-surround ribs on both sides to provide cushion against rubbing
C) C-alveoli-thin walled vascular bag-like structures for exchange of gases
D) D-lower end of lungs-diaphragm pulls it down during inspiration
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- C-Alveoli are thin-walled vascular bag-like structures for exchange of gases. A-trachea or wind pipe is an air conducting tube through, which transport of gases takes place. B-pleural membrane is double layered, which reduces friction on the lung surface. D-diaphragm is involved in the inspiration and expiration process of breathing.
