2. Breathing, or ventilation, is a cyclic process consisting of two stages, inspiration and expiration. Air only moves when there is a pressure gradient, moving from high pressure to low pressure. To ventilate, we must create pressure gradients that drive air through our airways into or out of our lungs. We need to change the air pressure in our alveoli. We achieve this using the principle described in Boyle's Law. Boyle's Law states that when temperature is held constant, pressure is inversely related to volume – that is, when volume of a chamber increases, air pressure in that chamber decreases, and vice versa. By changing the size (volume) of the thoracic cage, we change pressure in our alveoli. To inhale, we must make our thoracic cage larger. To exhale, we must make our thoracic cage smaller. Label the diagram below, showing the muscles of our chest wall and diaphragm: (a) (b) (e)
