97
Q

breathing refers to using a specific device to regulate the way that a person breathes. This is typically done when certain medical conditions cause difficulties. Air is pushed through a facial mask or an airway pressure system, and the air and gases within the lungs are then balanced and the breathing can return to normal. This type of breathing can help to eliminate life-threatening situations that can arise when there is not enough pressure in the lungs.

A

Positive pressure breathing

98
Q

Caused in humans by the contraction of the diaphragm, and the relaxation of intercostal muscles, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity, which the lungs expand to fill.
However, there is still the same amount of air in the lungs, albeit filling a larger volume, so it is at a lower pressure than initially, when it was equal to ambient air pressure.
As long as the airway is secured, air “flows” into the lungs along the pressure gradient, filling the lungs with air.
This is negative pressure breathing.
Amphibians force air into their legs by a process known as buccal pumping, literally forcing air into their lungs, against the pressure gradient. This system is inefficient, but they can also “breathe” across their skin.

A

Negative pressure breathing
