During inspiration, contraction of the diaphragm causes the volume of Mr. Jones' thoracic cavity to increase and the pleural pressure to decrease. The pressure in his alveoli (P alv) will A. decrease below atmospheric pressure (Pb), causing air to move out of his lungs B. become greater than atmospheric pressure (Pb), causing air to move into the lungs. C. decrease below atmospheric pressure (Pb), causing air to move into the lungs. D. become greater than atmospheric pressure (Pb), causing air to move out of the lungs. E. does not change.
