the amount of pressure built up in the lungs during inhalation which causes a vaccum affect.
Intrathoracic pressure, intrapleural pressure, and transmural pulmonary vascular pressure exhibit rhythmic variations with respiration. These variations are important for normal breathing mechanics and gas exchange in the lungs.
The Output (ml/min) of the Left Ventricle increases proportionally (approx.) to the Filling Pressure (that is, the pressure with which the blood returns to the heart), measured with respect to Intrathoracic Pressure. An increase in the latter will then produce a decrease in Cardiac Output, so the rate of blood returning to the heart decreases. That is in the short term. But just after the increase in intrathoracic pressure, the Baroreceptors in the thorax sense the drop in pressure difference and trigger a reflex to increase Heart Rate, in order to restore blood flow. So if the lifting is prolongated, the rate of blood returning to the heart finally comes back to normal level. The opposite reaction is produced when you inhale deeply and hold your breath.
The purpose is to equalize the pressure on both sides of the ear drums. It can prevent problems when ascending to and descending from high altitudes such as when on an airplane or a high rise elevator.
Bulging veins in the neck may be a sign of increased pressure within the veins, such as during physical exertion or due to blocked blood flow. It can also be a symptom of an underlying medical condition like thyroid disorders or heart problems. If you notice persistent bulging veins in your neck, it's important to consult a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation.
The pressure that builds in a plant cell as a result of osmosis is called turgor pressure.
Intrathoracic pressure is the pressure inside of the pleural cavity. It is also called intrapleural pressure and the normal pressure is called negative pressure.
Negative intrathoracic pressure is the normal pressure in the area between the pleura of the lungs and the chest wall. The pressure is considered negative because it is less than the atmospheric pressure.
Exhalation describes the state when the diaphragm relaxes and intrapulmonic and intrathoracic pressure increases.
Intrathoracic pressure
during inspiration, intrathoracic pressure is decreased.
During inspiration, the diaphragm contracts, moving downward, and the external intercostal muscles contract, moving the ribcage upward and outward. These actions increase the thoracic volume, causing the intrathoracic pressure to decrease. This decrease in pressure creates a pressure gradient that allows air to flow into the lungs.
It increases intrathoracic pressure which decreases venous return to the heart and causes a decrease in cardiac output.
It increases intrathoracic pressure which decreases venous return to the heart and causes a decrease in cardiac output.
This simulates a punctured wall of the thoracic cavity, the intrathoracic pressure will equalize with atmospheric pressure so that the lung cannot be inflated.

subatmospheric pressure to be specific. pulmonary capillaries need such condition to promote flitration. Filtration is one of the main processes by which fluid moves between plasma and interstitium( exchange of gases and nutrients between blood and tissues
