What changes occur in the thorax during ventilation?
During ventilation, the thorax expands as the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity. This expansion decreases the pressure inside the thorax, causing air to rush into the lungs to equalize the pressure. Relaxation of these muscles allows the thorax to recoil back to its original position, pushing air out of the lungs.
What part of the grasshopper is for locomotion?
The thorax which has the legs and wings attached to it.
How do the two lungs work together?

Wrong... the bone thorax protects the heart and LUNGS as it also allows the respiratory muscle to create a vacuum that will draw air into the lungs. while the Ribs withing in the bone thorax will protect not only the thoracic organs, but as well the spleen, most of the liver and to some extent the kidneys.
When you breathe in does the volume of the thorax increase or decrease?
When you breathe in, the volume of the thorax increases. This is due to the contraction of the diaphragm and expansion of the rib cage, creating more space for the lungs to expand and fill with air.
What anatomical position is the head to the thorax?
the head is superior to the thorax. the thorax is inferior to the head.
What body part are the legs and wings attached to?

What happens during inhalation phase of breathing?

Are the organs of the upper respiratory tract located outside the thorax?
Yes, the organs of the upper respiratory tract, such as the nose, pharynx, and larynx, are located outside the thorax, which is the chest cavity. These organs are responsible for the initial passage of air into the respiratory system.
Which muscle is the prime mover for inhalation?
Diaphragm is the the prime mover for the inhalation. It is a dome shaped partition between the thorax and the abdomen. It gets some what flat as it contracts. The volume of the thorax increases. There by the air is pulled in the thorax.
