1. Muscles and Bones of Respiration Flashcards
Inspiration
EIC + diaphragm contract
ribs + sternum move up and out
abdominal muscles relax
lung vol increases
Expiration
EIC + diaphragm relax
IIC + abdominal muscles contract
ribs + sternum are depressed
lung vol. decreases
How many pairs of external intercostal (EIC)
11 pairs
How many pairs of internal intercostal (IIC)
11 pairs

Anatomy of the Diaphragm
skeletal muscle mostly
phrenic nerve (C3,C4,C5)
Right crus (L1-3) is longer
3 arcuate ligaments
