Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
When the abdominal wall muscles contract, they compress the abdominal cavity. This forces the diaphragm upward and compresses the thoracic cavity. The abdominal muscles include pairs of external oblique, internal oblique, transverse abdominis, and rectus abdominous muscles (Figure 9-27).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The abdominals can also contribute to inspiration by contracting at end-exhalation. This reduces end-expiratory lung volume, so the chest wall can recoil outward, assisting the next inspiratory effort.
