Air moves into the lungs when the diaphram muscle?
Air moves into the lungs when the diaphragm is flattened. The diaphragm is relaxed (arched) during expiration.
What muscle in the lungs which contract and releases changing the volume of the lungs?
I believe that answer is the diaphragm. As the diaphragm moves up and down, it expands the lungs, and when the diaphragm goes up, the lungs release the air out again.
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.
When air moves into the lungs when the diaphragm muscles do what?
The diaphragm moves down to make the lungs expand (inhalation)
What moves air in and out the lungs?
the diaphragm
What force cause air to move in an out of the lungs?
inhale:- the air pressure in the lungs decreases and air moves in. exhale:-air pressure in the lungs increases and air moves out.
The diaphragm moves air into and out of the what of a mammal?
Lungs.
What muscles move the air in and out of the lungs?
I think you meant move air into the lungs. The muscle is the diaphragm.
What is able to move up and down from moving air in and out of lungs?
the diaphragm is a muscle located below the lungs. When the muscle tissue of the diaphragm contracts, it moves down, creating a vacuum inside the lungs, and pulling air into them. To breathe out, the diaphragm simply relaxes, springs back up, and the air is expelled. Not all of the air ever comes out of the lungs during an exhale.
When you breath out which direction does your diaphragm go?
When you breathe out the diaphragm moves upwards to push the air out of the lungs. When you breathe in the diaphragm moves downwards to draw air into the lungs. When you breathe out your diaphragm contract and moves upwards towards your head. when you breathe in too much your diaphragm explodes
What happens to the diphgram when you inhale?
The diaphragm is a convex shaped muscle (convex side within the chest cavity).When the diaphragm muscle contracts it flattens out and drops down out of the chest cavity making more room and creating a vacuum -- air then rushes into the lungs.When the diaphragm relaxes it moves back up into the chest cavity and expels the air on the lungs. During inhalation, the increased volume of the lungs causes the ribcage to expand. Inhalation - Diaphragm CONTRACTS and moves DOWN (to allow more space in the chest cavity for lungs to expand).Exhalation - Diaphragm RELAXES and moves UP (to force air out of the lungs).
What happens when the diaphragm moves downward and the rib cage moves up and out?
The opposite. When you exhale, the diaphragm moves upward to push the air out of the lungs.
