Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Respiratory inductive plethysmography has been used extensively in research on respiratory mus-cle function. It has been used as a means of monitoring breathing patterns of patients in sleep la-boratories.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Because the two moving parts in the respiratory system, the rib cage and the abdomen, are ar-ranged in a series, the sum of the two displacements can be used to calculate the air volume in-spired.
