it takes the blood to the heart and flows through out the body
A diaphragm lever is a mechanical component that connects the diaphragm in a pressure system to a control mechanism. It is designed to translate the movement of the diaphragm into an action, such as opening or closing a valve, based on the pressure changes detected by the diaphragm. This helps regulate and control the flow of a fluid or gas in a system.
Breathing involves the diaphragm, a muscle essential for respiration. When you inhale, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward, creating space in the chest cavity for the lungs to expand. This action helps to draw air into the lungs, promoting oxygen exchange and supporting overall muscle function.
The endocrine system controls cell function by hormone action.
The nervous system controls involuntary processes such as breathing through the autonomic nervous system. The brainstem has a respiratory center that regulates the rhythm and depth of breathing based on the levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the blood. Signals from the brainstem travel to the diaphragm and intercostal muscles to control the contraction and relaxation required for breathing.
Yes, a sneeze is a reflex action controlled by the autonomic nervous system. It is the body's way of expelling irritants from the nasal passages to protect the respiratory system.
Proper control of the respiratory passages depends upon the coordination of muscles in the diaphragm, intercostal muscles, and other accessory respiratory muscles. Additionally, the autonomic nervous system plays a key role in regulating the dilation and constriction of the airways through the action of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. This control ensures the optimal exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs.
During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward, while the chest cavity decreases in volume. This creates higher pressure within the lungs, forcing air out of the respiratory system through the nose and mouth. Squeezing the air from the lungs helps expel more carbon dioxide and waste gases.
The mouth receives food and begins digestion by mechanically reducing the size of solid particles and mixing them with saliva. This action is called mastication.
Electric shocks can paralyze the respiratory system or disrupt heart action, causing instant death
The respiratory system is crucially important to us, it allows to exchange gas. meaning carbon dioxide and oxygen. These gas exchanges occur in the alveoli's and the capillary by diffusion.Two things happen external and internal respiration. External, is the action of bringing in air literally.. by just breathing. Internal, is the cellular respiration that occurs simultaneously as we breathe.The main function of the respiratory system is to take in oxygen, for all the cells of your body, and remove carbon dioxide.To supply the blood with oxygen.
It is a reflex action which is an autonomic (automatic) nervous system reaction to stimuli. It is the respiratory system and the nervous system working together. The pepper is an irritant to the nasal mucosa and it signals to the brain to sneeze and get it out of there. Another example of a reflex action is when you touch something extremely hot....you quickly pull your hand away.
When the lungs are expanded, this action takes place due to the diaphragm contracting during inhalation. During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes.
