What parts of the body work together to help you breathe?
The diaphragm, intercostal muscles, and lungs work together to help you breathe. The diaphragm moves down, the intercostal muscles expand the rib cage, and the lungs expand to take in air for oxygenation.
Do muscles work with the respiratory system?
your lungs are probably muscles so yea
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.
Do lungs have musles?
yes because organs are made up of tissues and so are muscles and for the lungs to move they need the muscle. So yes your lungs do have muscles.
Muscles that you cannot cantrol?
You cannot control the muscles in your heart and brain, and also your lungs, because they work automatically.
Does your chest expand because your lungs inflate or do your lungs inflate because your chest expands?
There are no muscles in the lungs that help inhale or exhale, this is the job of the diaphragm.
How does the respiratory system work together with the circulatory system and muscular system?
The circulatory system carries the oxygen full/lacking blood to and from the lungs. The muscular system makes the lungs expand and contract so the air can flow in and out of the lungs and out the capillaries.
How do the heart and lungs to work together to deliver oxygen to muscles?

How does running a mile improve your cardiovascular endurance?
