Answer #1

The statement is false because during inspiration negative pressure will be created in thoracic cavity.

The negative pressure in thoracic cavity exerts negative pressure on superior vencava and inferior venacava . This makes more blood to return to the heart ( right) during inspiration.

Thus negative pressure makes increased venous return to the heart .
