1. Despicable as his character was, it was hard not to applaud as Deakins (played by John Travolta) shut Pritchett up. Specifically, which part of Pritchett's respiratory tract did he crush? 2. It seems odd that Pritchett was still able to exhale, be he couldn't inhale. When we exhale, does the air push against the walls of the respiratory conducting division or pull in? Is exhalation an active or a passive process? 3. What tissue and structures normally prevent the trachea and bronchial tree from collapsing under the negative pressure of inhalation?
