Before Inspiration, Alveolar Pressure Is 0 and Intrapleural Pressure Is +2+ 2

Question 3

Short Answer

Before inspiration, alveolar pressure is 0 and intrapleural pressure is -5 cm H2O. At the end of an inspiration in a healthy person, with the glottis open, these readings would be: A. Alveolar pressure of +2+ 2 , intrap leural pressure of 8 cmH2O- 8 \mathrm {~cm} \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O }
B. Alveolar pressure of 2- 2 , intrapleural pressure of 8 cmH2O- 8 \mathrm {~cm} \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O }
C. Alveolar pressure of 0 , intrapleural pressure of +5 cmH2O+ 5 \mathrm {~cm} \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O }
D. Alveolar pressure of 0 , intrapleural pressure of 5 cmH2O- 5 \mathrm {~cm} \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O }
E. Alveolar pressure of 0 , intrapleural pressure of 8 cmH2O- 8 \mathrm {~cm} \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O }
