Air moving in and out of the lungs is called?
Inhaling and exhaling (no) - it's called Pulmonary
Ventilation

Breathing out air from the lungs is called expiration.
Asked in Medical Terminology, Lungs
What is the medical term meaning taking air into the lungs?
inhaling
*The process of taking air into the lungs is called inhalation
or inspiration*
Asked in Lungs
What is the movement of air on and out the lungs?
The movement of air on and out the lungs is called
respiration.
The movement of air into the lungs is called inhalation
(inspiration). The movement of air out of the lungs is called
exhalation (expiration).
Asked in Respiratory System
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.
Asked in Animal Life
Why are aveoli called the functional units of the lungs?
Because they are the lining of the lungs that begin the process
of taking oxygen out of the air and into the blood stream. They are
the parts that actually coe into contact with the "air" and are
therefore called the functional part of the lungs.
Asked in First Aid
Respiration is any procedure for causing air to flow into and out of the lungs when natural breathing stop?
No, respiration is the act of moving air into and out of the
lungs, aka breathing. Ventilation is the act of artificially moving
air into and out of the lungs.
Asked in Lungs
Do butterflies breathe through lungs?
No. Insects such as butterflies to not have lungs. They have
openings called spiracles in their abdomens. Air travels in and out
passively, without lungs or similar organs moving it.
Asked in Vitamins and Supplements, Biology, Nutritional Measurement, The Difference Between
What is the difference between Respiration and Ventilation?
Ventilation is free flow of air into the room
respiration is free flow of air from outside to lungs and
back
into air.
The process of going air into lungs is called
----inspitaion
the process of going air from lungs to out side
---expiration
so respiration
=inspiration+expiration(mathematically)

Asked in Lungs
How is air moved into and out of the lungs and what organs are involved?
The main muscle of respiration (moving air into and out of the
lungs) is the diaphragm.
Asked in Respiratory System
How does air pressure work with your respiratory system?
moving air in and out of your lungs
Asked in Lungs
What is The mechanical process of moving air in and out of the lung?
the diaphragm tightens (moves down) expanding the lungs. This
expansion creates the pressure in the lungs to decrease. Since
nature always strives for equilibrium, high pressure moves to low
pressure areas --> air fills the lungs. the diaphragm relaxes,
moving back up in the chest cavity, increasing the pressure on the
contents in the lungs. The air escapes the lungs to reach the lower
pressure area outside our body.
Asked in Lungs
What are the air spaces in the lungs called?
The air spaces in the lungs are called pulmonary alveoli. They
are where gas exchange occurs in the lungs of mammals.
Asked in Lungs
What is the air left in your lungs after you exhale called?
The air left in your lungs after exhaling is called "Expiratory
Reserve".
Asked in Muscular System
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.
Asked in Lungs
What are the air sacs in the lungs called?
The tiny air sacs in the lungs are called the alveoli.
Asked in Lungs
What is able to move up and down from moving air in and out of lungs?
In health, the diaphragm is able to move up and down from
moving air in and out of lungs. But in some lung conditions, this
movement is restricted.
Asked in Lungs
When air passes out of the lungs it is inspiration?
When air passes through your lungs it is called respiration.
Asked in Human Anatomy and Physiology
What is inspiration and expiration?
Inspiration, as called inhalation, moves air into the lungs.
Expiration, as called exhalation, moves air out of the lungs.
Asked in Lungs
What are air sacs in the lungs also called?
The small air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs are
called alveoli.
Asked in Science, The Difference Between
Respiration and breathing are identical process?
Breathing is the act of moving you diaphram(etc..) to force air
in and out of the lungs
Respiraton is the process of chemical reactions in which
glucose(food) is broken down to give energy.
Asked in Inflation
What is organs that inflates and deflates moving air in and out of the body?
Your lungs would do that.
Asked in Biology
What do you mean by double respiration?
the process in which the inhaled air is used twice for the
process of respiration is called double respiration.
eg:-in COLUMBA sp.the air when it is inhaled it goes into the
lungs,the excess air goes into air sac for temporal storage fron
here by recurrent bronchus air is taken back to the lungs
completiong double respiration.
