Which of the following is true regarding negative pressure ventilation? During inhalation, the chest cavity increases in volume, decreasing the pressure within the cavity. During inhalation, the chest cavity increases in volume, increasing the pressure within the cavity. During inhalation, the chest cavity decreases in volume, which forces oxygen into the bloodstream. During inhalation, the chest cavity decreases in volume, in order to concentrate the oxygen.
