Transcribed Image Text:During normal quiet breathing:
O only expiration requires muscle activation
no muscles are involved in either inspiration or expiration
Muscle contractions are needed for both inspiration and expiration
muscle action is only required for inspiration, whereas expiration occurs due to passive elastic recoil of tissues
that were stretched during inspiration
The lungs stick to the wall of the thoracic cavity due to:
negative intrapleural pressure in the pleural cavity and adhesion of fluid in the pleural cavity to the pleura.
Adhesion junctions between the parietal and visceral pleura
fibrous connective tissues between the visceral and parietal pleura
Surfactant in the intrapleural space
