The diagram below represents a model used to demonstrate breathing in mammals.
​(a) Name the mammalian structure represented by the parts labelled D and E.
(i) D . (ii) E (b) State the observation made when the string is pulled downwards. (c) Explain the observation in (b) above.
ANSWERS
​(a) (i) Rib-cage/chest cavity;
(ii) Diaphragm; (b) The balloons are inflated; (c) Pulling down the string increases the volume of D, hence decreasing the pressure inside: The low pressure causes external atmospheric air to rush in and inflate the balloons; K.C.S.E Biology Q & A - MODEL 2014PP1QN11
