Practice question
Question
Which muscle is the primary inspiratory muscle?
Explanation
Go with C — Diaphragm. Within Cardiac Cycle and Regulation, that statement lines up with the standard definition and the usual exam wording you’ll see. In plain terms, Diaphragm is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Cardiac Cycle and Regulation. Holding that picture in mind makes Diaphragm feel natural rather than something you only memorise. Link the term to a real body example (organ, tissue, or ion flow) so the idea stays concrete under exam pressure. A short mental diagram helps — start from stimulus or structure, follow the pathway, and stop at the functional result described by Diaphragm.
