When the air pressure in the lungs is greater than the air pressure outside the body you?
at higher altitudes the pressure of air is greater in our lungs as compare to the air pressure outside the body
How does air moves into and out of the lungs?
As the diaphragm contracts or retracts, the interior pressure of the lungs changes. As this pressure change occurs, the air pressure outside of the body remains unchanged. The resulting lack of pressure equality forces the air in or out of the lungs to maintain an equilibrium in the body pressure.
What force cause air to move in an out of the lungs?
inhale:- the air pressure in the lungs decreases and air moves in. exhale:-air pressure in the lungs increases and air moves out.
When you exhale but dn't delibirately inhale why does air still flow into your lungs?
Because air diffuses from high pressure to low pressure, when we breath we aren't really "sucking" air in, our diaphragm lowers and our ribcage extends allowing our lungs to "expand" air then diffuses from the outside of the body into our lungs, when the diaphragm contracts it creates a higher pressure in the lungs compared to the outside, so air then diffuses from the lungs and out of the body.
What muscle works with the lungs and ribs to get air in and waste gases out of the lungs?
The muscle is the "diaphragm" muscle. It is located beneath the lungs. When it moves down and away, it creates lower pressure around the lungs, and the air pressure outside the body flows into the lungs. When it moves up and in, it compresses the lungs, increasing the pressure to force the air back out.
When Air moves out of the lungs the pressure inside the lungs is?
when air moves out of the lungs, the air pressure decreases
What regulates the movement of air in and out of the lungs?
the gases flow through the two bronchi into the two lungs. the tube further divides into bronchioles which end with very thin sack like structures called alvoeli. this is where the air is filtered. oxygen gets mixed with the blood and the rest is filtered out for exit
What brings air into the lungs?
your lungs silly through your mouth and nose. unless you are talking about gas and that is a chemical reaction inside your body and that's a different kind of air. or an accidental needle air bubble can be put in the vien but that kills you
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.
Intrapulmonic pressure is the air pressure within the?
air outside the lungs
What causes air to stop moving into the lungs during inspiration?
Air stops moving into the lungs when the air pressure inside the lung is equal to the pressure of the air outside the body (the atmospheric pressure). The body creates negative air pressure inside the lungs by moving the diaphragm down and the chest wall out. This expands the volume of the lungs, creating negative air pressure, and air rushes in to fill the lungs.
Why does the lung collapse if intrapleural pressure is not maintain?
Inspiration happens when the pressure inside the lungs is lower than the atmospheric pressure (outside) and air rushes into the lungs. Expiration is when the air inside the lungs is higher than the atmospheric pressure and the air rushes out of the lungs. If the intrapleural pressure (pressure within the pleura of the lungs) isn't maintained then the pressure in the lungs can't differentiate between inspiration and expiration and so the lung collapses.
