What type of muscle tissue is found in the lungs?

Lungs are made of spongey elastic tissue. Muscles around the lungs help it contract.


Why can the lungs expand and contract Is it because of muscular walls?

The lungs can expand and contract due to the presence of specialized muscles called the diaphragm and intercostal muscles that help regulate the volume of the thoracic cavity. When these muscles contract, the volume of the chest cavity increases, causing air to flow into the lungs (inhalation). When these muscles relax, the volume decreases, causing air to flow out of the lungs (exhalation).


Describe how the diaphragm and rib muscles work together to control inhaling and exhaling?

The diaphragm contracts and moves downward during inhalation, increasing the volume of the chest cavity and drawing air into the lungs. The rib muscles, such as the external intercostals, help expand the chest wall outward to create more space for the lungs to fill with air. During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward, while the rib muscles relax and help decrease the volume of the chest cavity, forcing air out of the lungs.
