Q

BOYLE’S LA

A

if A ↑ then P ↓ and if A ↓ then P ↑
When applied to the lungs this means that as the lungs expand (and their volume ↑) then the air pressure in the lungs ↓
If you increase the volume then the pressure will decrease

Q

What happens when the lungs expand?

A

as the lungs expand they create a difference in air pressure between the region internal and the region external to the lungs
then Air then rushes into the lungs in order to stabilize the difference in air pressure

80
Q

what cover the lungs?

A

Visceral pleurae

81
Q

what covers the thorax?

A

Parietal pleurae

82
Q

wHY ARE The visceral and parietal pleurae important

A

are continuous and essential to lung movement

83
Q

What helps keep together pleurae? and creates surface tension

A

Surfactant lies between the pleurae creating surface tension to help keep them together

84
Q

where is Costal (parietal) pleurae ?

A

On inner surface of rib cage

85
Q

Visceral pleurae

A

On surface of lungs

86
Q

What causes lung movement?

A

Movement of thoracic structures covered by (parietal) pleurae will be followed by movement of the visceral pleurae, thus causing the lungs to move

87
Q

what will Inferior movement of the diaphragm cause?

A

Inferior movement of the diaphragm will cause the lungs to expand in an inferior direction

88
Q

what will Transverse movement of the ribcage cause?

A

Transverse movement of the ribcage will cause the lungs to expand in a transverse direction

89
Q

Inspiratory Musculature

A

Inspiration occurs upon thoracic expansion

The thorax can expand vertically and transversely

90
Q

Mediastinum

A

Central portion of thorax that contains the heart, esophagus, trachea and other organs

Middle space within which heart resides

91
Q

What does Vertical thoracic expansions involves ?

A

Vertical thoracic expansions involves primarily the diaphragm

The diaphragm separates the thorax from the abdomen

92
Q

What does inspiration occurs upon?

A

Thoracic expansion

93
Q

How does the thorax expand?

A

Vertically and transversely

94
Q

Vertical thoracic expansions of the lungs involves ?

A

Primarily the diaphragm

95
Q

What does the diaphragm separate?

A

the thorax from the abdomen

96
Q

What happens when the thorax expands vertically or transversely?

A

) the thoracic volume increases

97
Q

What does the diaphragm consist of ?

A

an intermediate region, the central tendon, surrounded by muscle

98
Q

What does the diaphragm attaches to?

A

the sternum, the ribs, and the vertebral column

99
Q

what has the effect of expanding the lungs vertically ?

A

The diaphragm Contraction pulls the central tendon down and in an anterior

100

What helps to promote inspiration?

A

Muscles of the thorax and the neck

101
Q

Quiet inspiration

A

Only need the diaphragm

102

Q

Can a person survive on diaphragmatic support without accessory muscles?

A

yes

104
