3) External intercostals
The primary muscles of respiration increase which dimensions of the thoracic cavity
the horizontal and vertical
Quiet expiration
- does not involve muscles
- 3 Forces at work
1) torque
2) elasticity (elastic recoil)
3) gravity
Forced expiration
1) External oblique
2) Internal oblique

4) Rectus abdominus
Conduction zone
purpose is to conduct air to and from lung alveoli
Parts of the conduction zone

2) Pharynx (throat)
3) Larynx (voice box)
4) Trachea (wind pipe)
5) Bronchial tree
Aspirated food/ liquid goes to which main bronchus
