Q

What happens in quiet breathing

A

Inspiration occurs

51
Q

What happens during quiet inspiration

A

Diaphragm contracts downward

52

what happens In deep inspiration

A
  • ribs elevate due to
  • external intercostals
  • pectoralis minor
  • scalences
  • sternoid….
53
Q

During quiet expiration

A

air leaves the lungs due to passive elastic recoil of the lungs + relaxation of diaphragm
