Using your muscles to voluntarily force the diaphragm lower into the abdomen will cause air to be drawn into the lungs. Lowering the lung pressure in this way is the only way to expand your own lungs. It is possible to expand them using compressed air, as with a ventilator or CPAP device (continuous positive airway pressure).
Your lungs are forced to expand and contract by a muscle right underneath them. This muscle, called the diaphragm, is pronounced di-a-fram.
BOOBS, no that is not correct, the Diaphragm causes your lungs to expand
The Diaphragm.
diaphragm
air
Yes, but only when you breathe in. when you breathe out, they will deflate.
Action of the diaphragm causes healthy lungs to inflate in whole like a balloon.Doctors have said that the average person does not breath properly, thereby not filling our lungs with sufficient air to help purify our blood. We should do daily exercises of deep beathing or get into the habit of breathing more deeply than we do.
The lungs are located anterior to the diaphragm. The diaphragm is the means by which the lungs inflate and deflate.
Mechanical ventilation is the use of a mechanical device (machine) to inflate and deflate the lungs.
Since a tortoise cant expand its abdomen (as it is encased in a shell) to fill its lungs it must pump air down its throat. It uses a sack near its mouth to do this.
There are no muscles in the lungs that help inhale or exhale, this is the job of the diaphragm.
They get bigger, then smaller. Yup, pretty much. P.S the person who wrote this is stupid...The lungs inflate then deflate XD
when you inhale your lungs expand when you exhale they deflate because the air leaves the lungs.
It allows the lungs to inflate and deflate without the "walls" sticking to each other, acting as a lubricant.
No the diaphragm does not produce hormones. All the diaphragm is is a muscle that expands and contracts to inflate and deflate your lungs.
No. They expand because there's a diaphragm that sits below the lungs and make them expand
I presume you mean diaphragm. This is the muscular partition between the Chest and Abdomen. Its contraction is responsible for breathing as it tends to inflate and deflate the lungs.
