What body organ is located below the rib cage on the right side?
diaphragm
Does exhalation occur when the diaphragm and rib cage muscles relax?
Yes, exhalation occurs when the diaphragm and muscles of the rib cage relax.
What protects the lungs and supports breathing?
The Rib Cage, Sternum and the Diaphragm.
What happens to your diaphragm rib cage and lungs often you exhale?
Your diaphragm expands, your rib cage goes up, and your lungs also expand. I learned this in science.
Where liver located?
it is located in the upper abdomen to the right of the stomach and immediately below the diaphragm (the diaphragm is a set a muscles below the rib cage and lungs that help with breathing.)
What is the breathing line under the lung?
It is called the Diaphragm, which is under the lungs and rib cage. ---- The Diaphragm is what moves the rib cage up and down when you breath in and out.
Where is liver is located?
it is located in the upper abdomen to the right of the stomach and immediately below the diaphragm (the diaphragm is a set a muscles below the rib cage and lungs that help with breathing.)
What are you doing when the diaphragm lowers and the rib cage expands?
Inhaling.
Protects the lungs and supports breathing?
The Rib Cage, Sternum and the Diaphragm.
How the diaphragm and the rib cage move?
These are the muscles that move the rib cage and they work together:Diaphragm (Prime mover of inhalation). If you need to breathe deeper you will use these:Scalenes (Elevate rib cage, assist in inhalation)Sternocleidomastoid (Elevate Rib Cage, assist in inhalation)Pectoralis minor (Elevate Rib Cage, assist in inhalation)External Intercostals (Elevate rib cage, assist in inhalation)Internal Intercostals (Depress, assist in exhalation)The diaphragm is under both voluntary control (holding your breath) and involuntary control (sleeping, reading)
When the rib muscles and diaphragm relax and the chest cavity becomes what?
When the diaphragm and muscles of the rib cage relax, the thoracic cavity becomes smaller. These changes occur during exhalation.
What controls lung movement?
The diaphragm controls lung movement. The rib cage also contributes to this.
