Q

Muscles of Ventilation: Diaphragm

A
  • Primary muscle in inspiration
  • When relaxed domes are arched into the thorax
  • When contracted the diaphragm flattens causing protrusion of the abdominal wall and inhalation

Q

Muscles of Ventilation: Expiratory Muscles Ventilation: Passive exhalation

A
  • When relaxed exhalation occurs passively due to gravity with diaphragm returning to its high domed position in the thorax

Q

Muscles of Ventilation: Expiratory Muscles of Ventilation: What are they

A
  • Quadratus Lumborum
  • Portions of the intercostals
  • Muscles of the abdomen
17
Q

Muscles of Ventilation: Lacking abdominal Musculature: (Spinal Cord Injury)

A
  • Lower resting position of the diaphragm causing decreased inspiratory reserve volume
18
Q

Muscles of Ventilation: Lacking abdominal Musculature: (Spinal Cord Injury) Positioning

A
  • More upright=Lower resting position=lower inspiratory reserve
  • Supine=Advantageous position of the diaphragm
