Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Negative, or subatmospheric, pressure is needed to avoid pressure changes that can be caused by openings in the thoracic wall. An uncontrolled opening in the thoracic wall can cause pressure change and be fatal.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Although ribs 3 through 7 articulate with the main sternal body, and the 8th through 10th ribs join anteriorly to the above ribs' cartilage, the 11th and 12th ribs have no anterior fixation.
