Name the pathway of air.
Nasal cavity, mouth, Pharynx, larynx, Trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli.
How many alveoli does an adult human have?
500-700 million
What is special about alveoli to allow gaseous exchange?

During inspiration, what happens to the diaphragm?
Contracts and flattens
During inspiration, what happens to the rib cage?
Moves upwards and outwards
During inspiration, what happens to the volume of the thoracic cavity?
Increases
During expiration, what happens to the diaphragm?
Pushes upwards and expands
During expiration, what happens to the rib cage?
Inwards and downwards
During expiration, what happens to the volume of the thoracic cavity?
Decreases
What is the process of mechanical ventilation?
- Air is pumped into the lungs by an endotracheal tube.
- This increases the pressure allowing air to flow inside of the airways.
- The pressure then drops to zero.
- Then the chest and lungs contract and push the air in the lungs out through passive expiration.
