FalseIntrapulmonary air pressure needs to be lower than the atmospheric pressure in order for air to move into the lungs. This is because air naturally flows from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. When the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract, the volume of the thoracic cavity increases, causing the intrapulmonary air pressure to decrease. This pressure difference allows air to flow into the lungs.
