Q

forces air out of the lungs

59
Q

sequence of events (in order) of inspiration

A
  1. inspiratory muscles contract (diaphram descends; rib cage rises)
  2. thoracic cavity volume increases
  3. lungs are stretched; intrapulmonary volume increases
  4. intrapulmonary pressure drops (to -1 mmHg)

62
Q

mechanism of action (in order) of expiration

A
