What else can I help you with?
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.
Which organ is the bell shaped muscle that expands and contracts the rib cage to bring in air?
The diaphragm (pronounced - diafram).
What happens to the rib cage when inhaling and exhaling?
it expands as we inhale and contrasts as we exhale...this allows our lungs to fill up with air without pushing on out rib cage the rib cage moves up and out when inhaling and moves down and in when exhaling.
Describe the movement of the ribcage and diaphragm during exhalation?
I believe the ribs are there to protect our lungs, heart etc. When we breath in, what we are actually doing is telling our diaphragm to contract, which moves it in a downwards motion. This caused pressure in our lungs to lower which pulls in air.
What happens to the movement of the chest when inhaling and exhaling?
Both... your chest expands - pushing your rib-cage out, and your diaphragm pushes downwards - forcing your organs to move outwards slightly.
When your rib cage expands its inhaling?
Yes, this, in combination with the movement of the diaphragm (controlled by surrounding muscles) allows space for air to rush into the lungs. Thus, you breathe.
When the rib cage expands is it inhalation?
Yes, when the rib cage expands, it is typically during inhalation. This expansion increases the volume of the thoracic cavity, creating a negative pressure that allows air to flow into the lungs. The diaphragm also contracts, further aiding the inhalation process. Together, these actions facilitate the intake of oxygen.
What connects the ribs allowing them to expand and contract?
Yes in a sense, as you inhale the diaphragm becomes full of air and it expands, the rib cage houses the diaphragm.
What happens to the volume of the thoracic cavity during the respiratory cycle?
During inspiration, the volume of the thoracic cavity increases as the diaphragm contracts and the rib cage expands. This allows air to be drawn into the lungs. During expiration, the volume of the thoracic cavity decreases as the diaphragm relaxes and the rib cage recoils, causing air to be expelled from the lungs.
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 happens to the diaprhragm when a person breaths in or inhales?
The diaphragm moves down on inhaling. The rib cage expands in volume. The creates a sort of vacuum in the chest cavity, causing the air to enter the lungs.
When you breath in what does your rib cage do?
it expands
