The deep muscles of the thorax that promote inhaling are known as the diaphragm muscles. These are the muscles that are activated when a person has good posture and takes a deep breath.
The deep thorax muscles are the deep muscles of the thorax that promotes the inspiratory phase of breathing. When breathing the diaphragm contracts, producing a negative pressure, which forces are into the lungs.
Inspiratory muscles such as the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles contract to increase the volume of the thorax. This action lowers the intrathoracic pressure, allowing air to rush into the lungs during inhalation.
wheeze can be inspiratory or expiratory but stridor is mostly inspiratory
The amount of O2 inspired would be the same as CO2 expired only if the individual were burning strictly carbohydrates (1:1 respiratory coefficient). Respiratory coefficient= CO2 eliminated per O2 consumed. Because animals also burn fats and proteins, there is no longer a 1:1 ratio because these energy sources have greater O2 consumption vs CO2 production (0.7:1 for fats). Therefore, the decreased CO2 production will cause the expiratory V to be less than the inspiratory V.
Inspiratory reserve volume is the volume you can inhale past the normal tidal volume.
ACUTE EFFECT - The inspiratory and expiratory volume decreases during exercise
Peak inspiratory pressure refers to the maximum pressure reached during inspiration, while plateau pressure refers to the pressure measured when there is no airflow in the lungs at the end of an inspiratory pause. Plateau pressure is a better indicator of lung distensibility and risk of overinflation compared to peak inspiratory pressure.
Expiraroty dyspnea (remember all pulmonary diseases have expiratory or mixed dyspneas and heart diseases are differentiated by inspiratory dyspneas)
Inspiratory reverse volume is the volume of air that remains in the lungs after maximal inspiratory effort. This can happen in conditions where the lungs are hyperinflated, like in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It can lead to inefficient breathing and decreased exercise tolerance.
the sternoclediomastoid, scalenes and external intercostals all work to increase throracic volume. hope that helps
Inspiratory flow rate refers to the rate at which air is taken into the lungs during inhalation. It is typically measured in liters per minute and can vary depending on factors such as lung function and respiratory conditions. Changes in inspiratory flow rate can help in diagnosing and monitoring lung diseases.
