the first thing that happens when you breathe in is your rib cage rises and expands out. this gives your lungs room to inflate. then your diaphragm pulls down, causing air to rush from a high concentration into your lungs. (low concentration) as the air is sucked in your lungs inflate

Why would physicians insert a tube into the chest to re-inflate the lungs?
because the lungs can not re-inflate themselves
What causes the lungs to inflate and deflate?
Yes, but only when you breathe in. when you breathe out, they will deflate.
Does your chest expand because your lungs inflate or do your lungs inflate because your chest expands?
There are no muscles in the lungs that help inhale or exhale, this is the job of the diaphragm.
When lungs inflate which part of the breathing process is this?
inhalation
What part of your lungs inflate and 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.
Location of lungs in context of diaphragm?
The lungs are located anterior to the diaphragm. The diaphragm is the means by which the lungs inflate and deflate.
When the lungs inflate what tiny structures appear?
ribs and bones
How does the diaphragm work to allow the lungs to inflate?
The diaphragm is a thin band of muscle under the lungs. When it contracts, the lungs are pulled up and out, reducing the air pressure and causing oxygen to be drawn in. When the diaphragm relaxes, the carbon dioxide is pushed out of the lungs.
Why there are gases in the balloon?
To inflate the balloon. Whether the gas is helium or just air from your lungs, gases are needed to inflate the balloon.
The makes it virtually impossible to voluntarily over-inflate the lungs?
Hering-Breuer reflex
What is the name of the organ involved in respiration?
Respiration involves the lungs. The lungs inflate with air, and this allows oxygen into the lungs. The windpipe and mouth and nose are also involved in respiration.
What do the Lungs do in the respiratory system?
They get bigger, then smaller. Yup, pretty much. P.S the person who wrote this is stupid...The lungs inflate then deflate XD
