Q. No.Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A):
It is essential for breathing that the anatomical setup of lungs in thorax is such that any change in the volume of the thoracic cavity will be reflected in the lung (pulmonary) cavity.
Reason (R):
We cannot directly alter the pulmonary volume.
