    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.

    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

    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.
