The movement of air out of the lungs during normal expiration is a result of? Air moves out of the lungs due to the relaxation of the diaphragm and intercostal mus Air moves out of the lungs due to the passive elastic recoil of the chest wall and lungs. Air is forced out of the lungs due to the active contraction of the abdominal and exter intercostal muscles.

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

A small ridge of cartilage at the most inferior portion of the "windpipe" called the __________ now directs some air towards the left lung and some towards the right lung. The air will now travel through a series of tubes that become smaller and smaller as they repeatedly branch; these tubes, very similar in structure to the "windpipe", are called __________. Even tinier tubes continue branching; these tubes contain…
Put the following in order by numbering from 1 to 5 - Diaphragm contracts and flattens and ribs elevate - The diaphragm returns to its dome shape resting position - The thoracic cavity increases in volume - Air inters the lungs due to a lower pressure gradient than atmospheric pressure - A subatmospheric pressure is created in the lungs
Under conditions where normal breathing isn’t sufficient, other muscles will assist the diaphragm in changing the volume of the thoracic cavity. A muscle that increases the volume of the thoracic cavity will cause pressure to (↑/↓) which means that it is helping with forced (inspiration/expiration). A muscle that decreases the volume of the thoracic cavity will cause pressure to (↑/↓) which means that it is helping with forced (inspiration/expiration).
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 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
