What is the force that drive air in to the lungs?
Suction is the force that "draws" or pulls rather than "drive" air into the lungs.When the diaphragm muscle pulls down, and the ribs expand slightly, the lungs also expand which sucks air into them.(see related links below)
Which muscle under the lungs pulls down when humans breathe in?
When the lungs are expanded, this action takes place due to the diaphragm contracting during inhalation. During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes.
What is diaphram?
the muscle that pulls down on the lungs, the decrease in pressure inflates the lungs, a good example is a ballon inside a pop bottle, with the bottom replaced with another balloon, when you pull down on it the balloon inflates.
What muscle pulls your arm down?
shoulder
What causes the sound in hiccups?
The diaphragm pulls down and allows more air into the lungs.
The diaphragm is important for what life process?
The diaphragm is a muscle which helps control the breathing process. When the diaphragm contracts it pulls down on the lungs (it is connected by the plueral membrane and connective tissue.) this creates space for the air to be forced into the lungs . This is because there is greater pressure inside the lungs than outside the lungs, resulting in air rushing into the lungs, and vice versa when the diaphragm relaxes.
How do mammals breathe in or breathe out?
A network of muscles above the stomach but under the ribcage, called the Diaphragm, acts as a bellows and applies pressure on the lungs. It pulls down to cause the lungs to fill with air and pushed up to expel carbon dioxide from the lungs.
When do lungs inflate?
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
Does the diaphragm move up on inhalation?
No, it pulls down to draw air into the lungs.
What muscle works with the lungs and ribs to get air in and waste gases out of the lungs?
The muscle is the "diaphragm" muscle. It is located beneath the lungs. When it moves down and away, it creates lower pressure around the lungs, and the air pressure outside the body flows into the lungs. When it moves up and in, it compresses the lungs, increasing the pressure to force the air back out.
What is the amount of force with which gravity pulls down an object?
The amount of force which gravity pulls down an object is called its weight.
How does diaphragm help during the inhaling and exhaling process?
When the diaphragm contracts, it pulls down and creates a vacuum in the lungs, which helps in breathing in.
