Mechanism Of Breathing Flashcards
What initiates inspiration?
Inspiration is initiated by the contraction of the diaphragm.
What role do external intercostal muscles play in breathing?
The contraction of external intercostal muscles lifts up the ribs and increases the volume of the thoracic chamber.
What is the pressure condition for inspiration to occur?
Inspiration occurs when the intra-pulmonary pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure.
What happens during expiration?
Expiration occurs when the pressure within the lungs is higher than the atmospheric pressure.
What is the movement of air into and out of the lungs called?
The movement of air into and out of the lungs is called breathing.
What are the two stages of breathing?
Breathing involves two stages: inspiration and expiration.
What is tidal volume?
Tidal volume is the amount of air inspired or expired during normal breathing.
What is the role of internal intercostals in breathing?
Internal intercostals help in generating pressure gradients during expiration.
What is the significance of gas exchange in breathing?
Gas exchange involves the diffusion of O2 and CO2 between the lungs and the bloodstream.

Diagram which increase the volume of thoracic cavity in the
Antero posterior axis
The contraction of external intercostal muscle lift up the rapes and sternum causing and increase in the volume of thoracic chamber in the
Dorso ventral axis
And increasing pulmonary volume
Decrease the intra pulmonary pressure to less than atmospheric pressure which force the air from outside to move into the lungs
And increasing pulmonary volume
Decrease the intra pulmonary pressure to less than atmospheric pressure which force the air from outside to move into the lungs
Relaxation of the day from and the intercostal muscles return
Understand I’m to their normal position and reduce the thoracic volume and their by the pulmonary volume this leads to an increase in Interpol Mon refresher to slightly above the atmospheric pressure causing expression of air from lungs
