What is the result of inspiration and expiration?

This occurs within the respiratory system. During inpiration, the intercostal muscles contract, the diaphragm descends, and the rib cage rises. The thoracic cavity volume increases, stretching the lungs, and the intrapulmonary volume increases. This causes the intrapulmonary pressure to drop. Air flows into the lungs until the intrapulmonary pressure equals the atmospheric pressure. During expiration the intercostal muscles relax, the diaphragm rises, and the rib cage descends. The thoracic cavity volume decreases, causing the the lungs to recoil, and the intrapulmonary volume decreases. This causes the intrapulmonary pressure to rise, and the air flows out of the lungs until the intrapulmonary pressure equals the atmospheric pressure.


What is a buccal mucosa?

Buccal mucosa is the mucosa lining the inside of the cheeks, and lips. Although the mucosa lining the inside of the lips is sometimes referred to labial mucosa, but it essentially just a continuation of the buccal mucosa. It is composed of stratified non-keritinised epithelium.This type of epithelliem in the oral cavity is also termed 'lining mucosa'. As apposed to 'masticatory mucosa' which covers the hard palate, attached gingiva, and dorsal surface of the tongue. There is also 'specialized mucosa' which is only found on the dorsal surface f the tongue.
