Chapter 48.3, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The effect on the air pressure when lungs expand during inhalation.
Introduction: The process of respiration is based on two phases: inspiration and expiration. The inhalation of air inside the lungs from the external environment is called inspiration and the release of air from the lungs to the external environment is known as “expiration.” The transportation of gases to and from the tissues takes place by means of circulation.

Students have asked these similar questions
When someone is standing, gravity stretches the bottom of the lung down toward the floor to a greater extent than the top of the lung. What implication could this have on the flow of air in the lungs? Where does gas exchange occur in the lungs?
Your friend thinks that while he is inhaling, the pressure in his lungs increases because they are filling with air. How can you explain to him that that is impossible?.
What is the difference between ventilation and respiration?
