classification of respiratory muscles
primary inspiratory
secondary inspiratory
primary expiratory muscles
secondary expiratory muscles
primary inspiratory muscles
diaphragm
external intercostals
levator costae
secondary inspiratory muscles are used when
there is forced breathing
secondary inspiratory muscles
scalenes
sternocleidomastoid
upper traps
serratus anterior
pec major and minor
abdominals
primary expiratory muscles
internal intercostals
sternocostalis
expiration is primarily a…
passive event d/t elastic recoil of the ribcage
secondary expiratory muscles
abdominals
–> rectus abdominus, obliques, transversus abdominus
when are primary muscles active
during quiet breathing
when are secondary muscles active
during forced breathing
exercises or pathology
inspiration
increase in A/P diameter of the chest
decrease pressure
air flows into the lungs
expiration
decrease volume and increased pressure
air moves out of the lungs
diaphragm origin
posterior surface of xiphoid process
inner surface of ribs 7-12 + costal cartilage
lumbar bodies and arcuate ligaments
diaphragm insertion
central tendon
what does the central tendon also have attachments to
pericardium
what shape is the diaphragm
dome shaped
