16
Q

contraction of the diaphragm

A

the central tendon pulls down and the diaphragm descends

descent of the diaphragm is stopped by stretch of the mediastinum

descent will compress the abdominal contents and increase intra-abdominal pressure

17
Q

what happens once the descent of the central tendon has stopped (diaphragm contraction)

A

the muscle fibers continue to shorten

results in an upward pull on the lower ribs –> bucket handle motion

18
Q

how do the external intercostals run

A

down and anteriorly

19
Q

role of the external intercostals

A

elevate the ribs and assist with inspiration

20
Q

how do the fibers of levator costae run

A

from transverse process down laterally to ribs

21
Q

role of levator costae

A

assists in elevation of the ribs

22
Q

internal intercostals fibers run

A

down and posteriorly

23
Q

role of internal intercostals

A

assist with expiration

24
Q

sternocostalis fibers run

A

down and medially from costal cartilage to sternum

25
Q

role of sternocostalis

A

depress costal cartilage and assist with expiration

26
Q

expiration is primarily

A

passive recoil of the rib cage

27
Q

major function of abdominals

A

assist with forced expiration

28
Q

role of abdominals during inspiration

A

helping increase intra-abdominal pressure
—-> pushing the lower ribs outward

29
Q

when does activity of the abdominals increase

A

exercise

30
Q

abdominals during expiration

A

as the diaphragm relaxes –> the abdominals contract —> pushes abdominal contents up

this raises the central tendon –> aides in expiration

31
Q

what do the abdominals do as the diaphragm contracts

A

resist motion and act as a girdle

32
Q

what would happen if the abdominals didn’t work as the diaphragm contracts

A

abdominal contents would be displaced inferiorly and anteriorly and the central tendon wouldn’t be stabilized

–> diaphragm wouldn’t elevate the lower ribs

33
Q

what effect do the abdominals have on the diaphragm

A

improve the efficiency of the diaphragm

34
Q

what happens if the abdominals are paralyzed

A

ventilatory efficiency of the diaphragm decreases

35
Q

normal sequence of chest wall motions during quiet breathing

A

first

second

third

fourth

36
Q

normal sequence of chest wall motions during quiet breathing –> first

A

diaphragm contracts and central tendon moves down

increases intra-abdominal pressure –> observe distension of abdomen

“belly breathing”

37
Q

normal sequence of chest wall motions during quiet breathing –> 2nd

A

diaphragm continues to contract –> pushes lower ribs outward

observe lateral movement of lower chest

38
Q

normal sequence of chest wall motions during quiet breathing –> 3rd

A

upper ribs rotate and elevate manubriosternum

observe anterior motion of the upper chest

2nd and 3rd steps may occur spontaneously

39
Q

normal sequence of chest wall motions during quiet breathing –> 4th

A

expiration during quiet breathing is passive

observe recoil of chest wall
