Answer:

(B) the internal pressure is less than atmospheric pressure.

Explanation:

The process of respiration is divided into two distinct phases, inspiration (inhalation) and expiration (exhalation). During inspiration, the diaphragm contracts and pulls downward while the muscles between the ribs contract and pull upward. This increases the size of the thoracic cavity and decreases the pressure inside. As a result, air rushes in and fills the lungs.

Hence, as the thoracic cavity increases in volume the lungs are pulled from all sides to expand, causing a drop in the pressure (a partial vacuum) within the lung itself.  As such the internal pressure is less than atmospheric pressure.

During expiration, diaphragm contracts inferiorly and thoracic muscles pull the chest wall outwardly (the diaphragm relaxes, and the volume of the thoracic cavity decreases, while the pressure within it increases). As a result, the lungs contract and air is forced out.

Why does compact bone have canaliculi, but spongy bone does not?
stich3 [128]
Canaliculi are tiny canals in bone between osteocytes containing osteocyte cell processes. A spongy bone, also known as a cancellous bone, is a bone with latticelike appearance. A compact bone is a bone that is denser and has fewer spaces than cancellous bone. A compact bone has canaliculi but the spongy bone doesn't, because compact bone tissues form the outer layer of the bone while the cancellous bone tissues form the inner layer of the bone and it does not have osteons. Anosteon is a single central canal, with its contents, and the associated lamellae and osteocytes surrounding it.
