Which is true about intrapulmonary pressure and intrapleural pressure? Intrapulmonary pressure will equalize to atmospheric pressure during the breathing cycle, but intrapleural pressure should always be greater than atmospheric pressure. Intrapulmonary pressure and intrapleural pressure both normally equalize to atmospheric pressure during the breathing cycle. Intrapleural pressure is always less than atmospheric pressure, while intrapulmonary pressure is always greater than atmospheric pressure during the breathing cycle. Intrapulmonary pressure will equalize to atmospheric pressure during the breathing cycle, but intrapleural pressure should always be less than atmospheric pressure.
