Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Air is caused to flow into the lungs with a negative pressure ventilator because the ventilator generates a negative pressure at the body surface that is transmitted to the pleural space and then to the alveoli. The transpulmonary pressure becomes greater because the pleural pressure drops. This closely resembles how a normal spontaneous breath occurs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The opposite of compliance, elastance is the tendency of a structure to return to its original form after being stretched or acted on by an outside force.
