Introduction:
The respiratory system is the connection between organs and tissues that control our breathing. It consists of our airways, lungs, and blood vessels. The muscles that strengthen our lungs are additional components of the respiratory system. These parts function together to support our body to absorb oxygen from the air so our organs can function. It additionally cleans waste gases, such as carbon dioxide, from our blood. Common troubles consist of allergies, diseases, or infections.
Answer to Problem 17A
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (A) inhalation.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (A) inhalation. During the process of inhalation, the lung volume expands because of the contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles (the muscles that are linked to the rib cage), hence enlarge the thoracic cavity.So, the correct answer is option (A).
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (B) exhalation. During exhalation, the lungs recoil to force the air out of the lungs. The intercostal muscles relax, returning the chest wall to its real position. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (C)
Option (D) filtration. Glomerular filtration is the first step in making urine. It is the process that our kidneys use to clean extra fluid and waste products out of the blood into the urine accumulating tubules of the kidney, so they will be discarded from your body. So, this is an incorrect answer.
