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
Your thoracic (chest) cavity is separated from your abdominal cavity by the diaphragm muscle. When your diaphragm pulls down, it creates pressure in the thoracic cavity that pulls in air and inflates the lungs. When the diaphragm moves up, it pushes the air out.
the air inflates them kind of like a balloon
well, like blowing into a balloon, when we breath in air fills up our lungs causing them to inflate.
They inflate to put air in your body.
Lungs inflate when you breathe in =)
While im typing this answer dumbo.
because the lungs can not re-inflate themselves
Yes, but only when you breathe in. when you breathe out, they will deflate.
There are no muscles in the lungs that help inhale or exhale, this is the job of the diaphragm.
inhalation
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.
The lungs are located anterior to the diaphragm. The diaphragm is the means by which the lungs inflate and deflate.
ribs and bones
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.
To inflate the balloon. Whether the gas is helium or just air from your lungs, gases are needed to inflate the balloon.
Hering-Breuer reflex
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.
They get bigger, then smaller. Yup, pretty much. P.S the person who wrote this is stupid...The lungs inflate then deflate XD
