Q

Muscles in Active Expiration (contraction and relaxation)
(passive expiration is just due to recoil of the lungs)

A

The diaphragm and external intercostal muscles relax

Internal intercostals contract, pulling the ribs inferiorly, decreasing intrathoracic volume, expelling air from the lungs (as the lungs recoil)

Q

Describe muscles used in
1) Normal, quiet breathing
2) Vigorous breathing
3) Very vigorous or forced breathing

A

Normal- Inspiration is active, expiration is passive. Mainly driven by movement of diaphragm (and recoil of lungs)

Vigorous- Both inspiration and expiration are active. Intercostal muscles become important. (Internal intercostals are used for active expiration)

Very vigorous/forced - accessory muscles of breathing contribute to movement of the ribs and aid ventilation

Function- Extensor of the hip (important for standing from sitting position)

Also lateral rotator of the hip

Innervation- inferior gluteal nerve

35
Q

A

Gluteus medius and minimus.

When we stand on one leg, the muscles in the limb that we are standing on hold the pelvis ‘level’ so it does not tilt.

If the muscles are paralysed, it would result in a limp as the pelvis will tilt in the direction of the foot of the ground
