🗑
|
||||
| Vibrations of the vocal chords are due to air exhaled from the: | lungs
🗑

🗑
|
||||
| The underlying principle of breathing is that air flows from the region of high pressure to a region of: | low pressure
🗑
|
||||
| Pressure changes occurring in the lungs can be traced to the activity of skeletal muscles known as: | respiratory muscles
🗑
