37
Q

Why is intraplearal pressure negative?

A

Negative due to elasticity in lungs and chest wall
* Lungs recoil inward as chest wall recoils outward
* Opposing forces pull on intrapleural space
* Surface tension of intrapleural fluid prevents wall and lungs from
pulling apart

Q

label figure 16.11

51
Q

Inspiration steps

A
  • Neural stimulation of inspiratory muscles
  • Diaphragm contraction causes it to flatten and move downward
  • Contraction of external intercostals makes ribs pivot upward and
    outward, expanding the chest wall
  • Collectively, thoracic cavity volume increases
  • Outward pull on pleura decreases intrapleural pressure, which
    results in an increase in transpulmonary pressure
  • Alveoli expand, decreasing alveolar pressure
  • Air flows into alveoli by bulk flow
