What tighten and get shorter when you inhale but relax and get longer when you exhale?
diaphragm
How far does the esophagus go down?
The esophagus connect with the stomach just below the diaphragm.
What muscles do we use to get oxygen into our bodies and carbon dioxide out?
Here is the entire list:Scalenes (Elevate rib cage, assist in inhalation)Sternocleidomastoid (Elevate Rib Cage, assist in inhalation)Pectoralis minor (Elevate Rib Cage, assist in inhalation)External Intercostals (Elevate rib cage, assist in inhalation)Internal Intercostals (Depress, assist in exhalation)Diaphragm (Prime mover of inhalation)When you breathe out, or exhale, your diaphragm relaxes and moves upward into the chest cavity.The intercostal muscles between the ribs also relax to reduce the space in the chest cavity.
What happens to the size of the chest cavity as you inhale?
The movement of the diaphragm affects the size of the chest cavity by when you inhale the chest cavity enlarges, but when you exhale the chest cavity becomes smaller.
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 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.
Is your diaphragm below your rib cage?
yes
What is the breathing line under the lung?
It is called the Diaphragm, which is under the lungs and rib cage. ---- The Diaphragm is what moves the rib cage up and down when you breath in and out.
What protects the lungs and supports breathing?
The Rib Cage, Sternum and the Diaphragm.
What muscle raises the rib to assist breathing?
The diaphragm.
How does the diaphragm and rib muscles work together to control inhaling and exhaling?
When you breathe, the actions of your rib muscles and diaphragm expand or contract your chest. As a result, air flows in and out.
When the rib muscles and diaphragm relax and the chest cavity becomes what?
When the diaphragm and muscles of the rib cage relax, the thoracic cavity becomes smaller. These changes occur during exhalation.
Describe how the diaphragm and rib muscles work together to control inhaling and exhaling?
When you breathe, the actions of your rib muscles and diaphragm expand or contract your chest. As a result, air flows in and out.
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 are you doing when the diaphragm lowers and the rib cage expands?
Inhaling.
What makes the chest cavity larger when you inhale?
the diaphragm, chest muscles, ribs and the sternum.
