Q

thoracic cage expands/contracts, thus inc/dec

A

intrathoracic pressure

inhale –> intercostal m. and diaphragm contract to expand chest cavity. diaphragm flattens and moves downwards and intercostal m. move rib cage up and out

inc in size –> dec internal air pressure, air from outside (now at higher P than inside thorax) rushes into lungs to equalize pressures

Exhale –> diaphragm and intercostal m. relax, reduces size of thoracic cavity thus increasing pressure and forcing air out of lungs

Q

flail chest

effects on inspiration/expiration

A

multiple rib fractures –> section of rib cage becomes detached from rest of the chest wall

inspiration –> intapleural pressure becomes increasingly negative, flail segment and underlying tissue sucked inward, lung collapses on affected side, mediastinum shifted toward unaffected side

expiration –> intrapleural pressure becomes less negative, flail segment and underlying tissue are pushed outward, mediastinum shifts to affected side

32
Q

quiet expiration

A 
passive
inspiratory muscles relax 
rib cage drops under force of gravity

elastic fibers in lung recoil 
volumes of thorax and lungs decrease simultaneously, increasing the pressure
air forced out
33
Q

forced expiration

A

use muscles of anterior and wall to compress viscera up under diaphragm
