Game 5 Strike out Some of the following statements about the respiratory system structures are incorrect. Cross out all of the incorrect statements. 1. The left lung is larger than the right and handles the majority of gas exchange. 2. One function of serous fluid is to lubricate the pleural surfaces, allowing them to slide smoothly against each other as the lungs expand and contract. 3. Another function of serous fluid is to prevent inflammation on the lung surface. 4. Each lung s base rests on the diaphragm. 5. Cartilage forms the major portion of the thoracic cage. 6. The anterior thoracic cage consists of the manubrium, sternum, xiphoid process, and ribs. 7. The posterior thoracic cage is composed of the vertebral column and 12 pairs of ribs. 8. All of the ribs attach directly to the sternum. 9. The costal margin is the lower parts of the rib cage. 10. The costal angle is the angle of about 90 degrees that forms at the point where the bottom rib meets the 12th thoracic vertebra.

The left lung is larger than the right and handles the majority of gas exchange. The right lung is shorter, broader, and larger than the left. It handles 55% of gas exchange. 3. Another function of serous fluid is to prevent inflammation on the lung surface. Serous fluid has no anti-inflammatory role. Rather, its other function is to create a bond between the visceral and parietal layers. This bond causes the lungs to move with the chest wall during breathing. 5. Cartilage forms the major portion of the thoracic cage. The ribs form the major portion of the thoracic cage. 8. All of the ribs attach directly to the sternum. Ribs 1 through 7 attach directly to the sternum; ribs 8 through 10 attach to the cartilage of the preceding rib; the other 2 pairs of ribs are free-floating. 10. The costal angle is the angle of about 90 degrees that forms at the point where the bottom rib meets the 12th thoracic vertebra. The costal angle is the angle of about 90 degrees that forms near the xiphoid process at the lower part of the rib cage.
