Answer to Question 1

A
On inspiration, the diaphragm moves down, increasing the area of negative pressure, muscles pull the rib cage up, and the positive-pressure room air flows into the negative-pressure lungs.

Answer to Question 2

D
Chemoreceptors in the brainstem and carotid arteries measure hydrogen concentration, as well as CO2 and O2, to trigger respiration rate to correct the excessive CO2.
