The movement of air out of the lungs during forceful expiration is a result of Air is forced out of the lungs due to the active contraction of the abdominal and external intercostal muscles. O Air moves out of the lungs due to the passive relaxing of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. Air is forced out of the lungs due to the active contraction of the abdominal and internal intercostal muscles. O Air moves out of the lungs due to the passive elastic recoil of the chest wall and lungs.

Which of the following is TRUE concerning the respiratory diaphragm? Question 40 options: Contraction of the diaphragm decreases the volume of the posterior aspect Contraction of the diaphragm increases the volume of the abdominal cavity Contraction of the diaphragm decreases the volume of the thoracic cavity Contraction of the diaphragm increases the volume of the thoracic cavity
During inhalation: The diaphragm contracts and the external intercostals contract making the volume of the thoracic cavity larger. The diaphragm and the external intercostals relax making the volume of the thoracic cavity larger The diaphragm relaxes and the external intercostals contract making the volume of the thoracic cavity smaller The diaphragm relaxes and the internal intercostals contract making the volume of the thoracic cavity smaller
The table below shows the activity of the diaphragm and associated changes. Complete the table to identify the changes that would be occurring relative to the diaphragm’s activity. Action of diaphragm: Movement of diaphragm? Volume of thoracic cavity? Size of lungs? Direction of airflow? Contracted inferiorly or superiorly? increases or decreases? increases or decreases? out of lungs or into lungs ? Relaxed inferiorly or superiorly? increases or decreases? increases or decreases? out of lungs or into lungs ? choose the answers
A pilot is flying a commercial, pressurized (760mmHg) airplane at 30,000 feet. If the pilot’s body temperature is normal and the alveolar PO2 is 100 mmHg, which of the following is true? Atrieal PCO2 is 40 mmHgAlveolar PCO2 will be 100 mmHgThe pilot will be polycythemicAlveolar ventilation will be increasedAterial pH will be 7.6
Describe inhalation and exhalation. Be sure to include discussions of what triggers them and the role of muscles in effecting these actions. You should also discuss the volume and pressure changes that occur during inhalation and exhalation.
When someone breathes in they can completely exchange old air for new air. True or false.
When considering the movement of air into the balloons (representing the lungs), which of the following would you have to do? a. pull down on the diaphragm mimicking the contraction of the diaphragm in inspiration b. push up the diaphragm mimicking the relaxation of the diaphragm in expiration c. push up on the diaphragm mimicking the contraction of the diaphragm in expiration
You are providing care to a 14 year old male teenager that was informed by the doctor of having restrictive pulmonary disease. A pulmonary function test was performed and also a TB test was done to evaluate his loss of in respiratory function and it was determined that he had reduced lung expansion. The child asks you several questions because he wants to learn much more about the ventilation process of his respiratory system. He asked the following questions because he noticed that you are a knowledgeable nurse. Which muscles typically allow him to ventilate at rest, and how much air is ventilated?
Which of the following muscles are active during inspiration at rest? Diaphragm Internal intercostals External intercostals Both a and c None of the above What is the immediate result of the diaphragm contracting? Transpulmonary pressure decreases Alveolar volume decreases Intra-pleural volume decreases Intra-pleural volume increases Intra-pleural pressure increases
Functional residual capacity is the volume of air remaining in the lungs
Activation of the sympathetic nervous system stimulates the smooth muscle in the walls of bronchioles to contract. O True O False
Describe the actions of the muscles involved in an inhalation and an exhalation.
