Under what conditions does air tend to flow into the lungs?
Air tends to flow into the lungs when thoracic volume increases and pressure decreases. When the opposite is true, air leaves the lungs.
Moving muscles in order to make air flow into and out of the lungs?
The term for moving muscles in order to make air flow into and out of the lungs is breathing. The main muscle that moves is the diaphragm, which sits just below the lungs and causes air to flow in and out as it contracts and expands.
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.
Why does air flow in when you expand your lungs?
Since the volume of the lungs increases, the intrathotacic pressure decreases, and air moves into the lungs.
Under what condition does air flow goes in to the lungs?
when pressure inside the lungs is lower then outer atmosphere
Under what internal condition does air flow into the lungs?
Inhalation. Breathing.
How does air flow between neighboring alveoli?
You use the respirerotry system. To be precise when air is to be sucked in, the brain askes the lungs to expand, which naturally creates a low pressure inside the lungs. Similarly when the lungs are compressed the air inside is flushed out.
Under what internal condition does air tend to flow out of the lungs?
Air tends to flow out of the lungs when the internal pressure of the lungs is higher than the atmospheric pressure. This pressure difference is created by the contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles during exhalation, which reduces the volume of the lungs and forces air out.
What occurs when the air pressure in the lungs is higher than in the atmosphere?
When the air pressure in the lungs is higher than in the atmosphere, air will flow out of the lungs to equalize the pressure. This is called exhalation. It allows the body to get rid of carbon dioxide and regulate oxygen levels.
What would happen to you without the lungs?
Someone without lungs will die almost immediately because then they would be able to have air flow in and out of them....
What element makes up the majority of the air we inhale?
are lungs and oxogent
What is a frozen diaphragm?
it is the muscle that makes your lungs move so you can get air.
