Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The rod of the piston moves the piston forward linearly inside a cylinder housing at a constant rate, producing a constant or rectangular waveform of gas flow to the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
With an external circuit, gas flows both through the main inspiratory line to the patient and through the expiratory valve line during inspiration. This line inflates a balloon or puts pressure on a diaphragm, closing a hole. The hole in the exhalation valve is where the patient's exhaled gases normally vent into the room. During inspiration, the hole is covered by the balloon or diaphragm. During exhalation, no gas goes through the main inspiratory line or the expiratory valve line. The balloon deflates, and the patient's exhaled volume passes through the open hole.
