Inspiration occurs when the intrapulmonary pressure decreases to below atmospheric pressure
Inhalation is the process of taking air into the lungs. For this to occur, the air pressure inside the lungs must be lower than that of the external atmosphere as air flows from areas of higher pressure to lower pressure. This is achieved by the contraction of the external intercostal muscles and the relaxation of the internal intercostals which acts to pull the ribcage upwards and outwards, hence, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity. The diaphragm also contracts to extend the cavity further downwards. Due to the function of the pleural membrane, the size of the lungs is increased which, in turn, creates an area of lower air pressure inside the lungs; hence, air is drawn into the lungs. Exhalation is the process of expelling air out of the lungs. For this to occur, the air pressure inside the lungs must be higher than that of the external atmosphere as air flows from areas of higher pressure to ones of lower pressure. This is achieved by the relaxation of the external intercostal muscles which bring the rib cage inwards and the diaphragm bulges upwards (recoiling to its original shape) respectively. The internal intercostal muscles contract so as to pull the rib cage further inwards, hence, decreasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and that of the lungs which, in turn, creates high pressure in the lungs; hence air is pushed out of lungs. In passive breathing, the movements of the diaphragm are responsible - the ribs aren't needed.
During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts flattening out its usual dome shaped appearance. This has the effect of lengthening the lungs and increasing the intrapulmonary volume. When the volume increases, the pressure drops and air flows into the lungs.
No, when body temperature drops below normal the body will slow down in its functions and go into "preservation mode".
Descends. When you inspire, the diaphragm descends, the thoracic volume inreases, the intra-thoracic pressure drops. The difference in the environmental pressure and the intra-thoracic pressure causes air to flow into the lungs.
The major muscle that the body uses for breathing The above answer is of course correct for the thoracic diaphragm but there are others for example the pelvic diaphragm. A diaphragm is a domed muscular wall the reperates to regions. When is contracts it flattens to increase pressure on the inside of the dome and decrease pressure on the outside of the dome. In the case of the pelvic diaphragm is domes downards and contracts to resisf the increased pressure from the thoracic diaphragm on the abdomen during inhalation.
In inspiration, intrapulmonary pressure drops 3mm/Hg below atmospheric pressure and air flows into the lungs.
The wind blow in towards the low.
The ballon contains a fixed amount of gas producing internal pressure. At the surface, this pressure equals the surface atmospheric pressure. As the balloon rises, the atmospheric pressure drops, allowing the balloon to expand, keeping the internal pressure and external pressure equal. If the balloon is fully inflated at the surface it will burst at higher altitude.
Water vapors begin to condense when T drops below 100 degree Celsius. This is true under the normal conditions (sea level atmospheric pressure). On higher altitudes, there pressure is lower, vaporization/condensation temperature will be lower.
For the operator to monitor the oil pressure of the engine. If the oil pressure drops below average when running, the engine is in trouble.
Atmospheric pressure is measured by a barometer. There are several types. The one most likely to be found in a home is an anaeroid barometer.
This would be a barometer. When the air pressure drops, you can expect rain or other bad weather like thunderstorms. On the other hand, when the air pressure rise, you can expect better weather. You can tell by using a barometer.
low pressure system and stormy weather
If the arterial pressure drops slightly below normal, that means the blood pressure has dropped. A slight decrease may not show any side effects, or it may cause dizziness.
Highly accurate barometers take atmospheric pressure readings for use in many scientific applications. Changes in atmospheric pressures signal changes in weather, and pressure drops as altitude rises. So, adjusted to its altitude a barometer can track storms at different altitudes.
