Why does it hurt when you breathe out and not in?
Depends on the cause of the pain, but if the pain is from overexertion from intense physical activity, may be due to the muscles involved in respiration. The intercostal muscles between the ribs, and diaphragmatic muscles, both expand and are placed under greater stress during inhalation. Upon exhalation, the release of air allows these muscles to relax without effort, being usually a passive part of the breathing cycle.
What step in ventilation requires muscle work?
The inhalation phase. During the inhalation phase, the diaphragm contracts and this requires energy expenditure. The exhalation phase, on the other hand, only involves passive muscle recoil of the diaphragm and does not require work or energy.
When you breathe in and out when do your lungs expend?
on inhalation (breathing in) the main muscles used in respiration at rest are the diaphragm at the base of the chest and external intercostals between the ribs. On inhalation the muscles move the ribs and sternum to expand the chest stretching the lungs as they fill with air. On exhalation (breathing out) which is mainly passive -the enlarged lungs recoil and shrink as the intercostals and diaphragm relax. Abdominal pressure pushing the diaphragm upwards to actively compress the lungs back to their resting volume.
What is active exhalation?
Active Exhalation a.k.a. Forced Expiration - Accessory muscles are used to assist passive forces Accessory muscles used: INTERNAL RIB CAGE MUSCLES- 1. Internal Intercostals 2. Transversus Thoracis 3. Subcostals EXTERNAL RIB CAGE MUSCLES- 1.Serratus Posterior Inferior 2.Quadratus Lomborum ABDOMINAL MUSCLES- 1. Rectus Abdominis 2. External Oblique 3. Internal Oblique 4. Transversus Abdominis Hope this helps :D
What is the official name for secondhand smoke?

Why is inhilation described as an active process?
OInhalation is a process that relies on contraction of muscles while exhalation is a process that is USUALLY-not always-passive because it relies on the relaxation of muscles. However, when you speak, sing, or blow out a candle the muscles between the ribs and abs contract, making it active.
