Ventilation refers to the process by which?
air is moving in and out of the 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.
What is able to move up and down for moving air in and out of lungs?
Diaphragm
Is the diaphragm responsible of moving air in and out of lungs?
Yes
Why does air rush into the lungs during the process of breathing?
Air enters the lungs because the pressure in the atmosphere is greater than the pressure in the lungs. Lung pressure is lowered by increasing the volume of the lungs. This is achieved by lowering the diaphragm and raising the rib cage.
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.
What is organs that inflates and deflates moving air in and out of the body?
Your lungs would do that.
The water cycle occurs between the earth and the?
The water cycle occur between the earth and the air. It is a cyclic process.
Respiration and breathing are identical process?
false
What process is responsible for movement in gases inside the lungs?
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.
Why the rib moves up when you inhale?
Actually the ribs are moving outward and expanding as the lungs fill with air. The expansion of the ribs makes room for more air to enter the lungs.
What is inspiration and exhalation?
Inspiration, as called inhalation, moves air into the lungs. Expiration, as called exhalation, moves air out of the lungs.
