Contraction of the diaphragm increases the ___ dimension of the thorax.
vertical
Contraction of the accessory muscles of inspiration increases the ____ dimension of the thorax.
horizontal
Contraction of the muscles of expiration ____ the volume of the thorax
decrease
Emphysema results in a breakdown of the alveolar wall, resulting in enlargement of alveolar clusters and consequent enlargement of the thorax known as “barrel chest.” The result of this is that the diaphragm is pulled down at rest. Discuss the implications of the muscular action of inspiration and expiration in this altered system.
In an altered system, the diaphragm is pulled down at rest and thus expiration would be much more difficult for the person to release air from the lungs.
