Direction: The following question consists of two statements - Assert...
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. During the breathing cycle, when air is taken in and let out, the lungs always contain a residual volume of air. It provides sufficient time for oxygen to be absorbed and for carbon dioxide to be released. Both Reason and Assertion are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Direction: The following question consists of two statements - Assert...
Assertion and Reasoning
• Assertion (A): Lungs always contain a residual volume of air.
• Reason (R): It provides sufficient time for oxygen to be absorbed and for carbon dioxide to be released.
Explanation:
• The residual volume of air is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after expiration. This residual volume is important as it helps to maintain the patency of the airways and prevents the lungs from collapsing.
• The residual volume also plays a vital role in gas exchange. By keeping the airways open, it allows for air to continue to flow in and out of the lungs, which facilitates gas exchange.
• The Reason for this Assertion is true because the residual volume provides sufficient time for oxygen to be absorbed and for carbon dioxide to be released. This is because the residual volume allows for continuous gas exchange to occur within the lungs, even when a person is not actively breathing.
• Therefore, both the Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
Option (A) is the correct answer.
