What parts of the body work together to help you breathe?
The diaphragm, intercostal muscles, and lungs work together to help you breathe. The diaphragm moves down, the intercostal muscles expand the rib cage, and the lungs expand to take in air for oxygenation.
Do muscles work with the respiratory system?
your lungs are probably muscles so yea
What type of muscle tissue is found in the lungs?
Lungs are made of spongey elastic tissue. Muscles around the lungs help it contract.
Why can the lungs expand and contract Is it because of muscular walls?
The lungs can expand and contract due to the presence of specialized muscles called the diaphragm and intercostal muscles that help regulate the volume of the thoracic cavity. When these muscles contract, the volume of the chest cavity increases, causing air to flow into the lungs (inhalation). When these muscles relax, the volume decreases, causing air to flow out of the lungs (exhalation).
What is true about the muscles active during breathing?
During breathing, the primary muscles involved are the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles. The diaphragm contracts to create a vacuum that allows air to flow into the lungs, while the intercostal muscles assist by expanding and contracting the rib cage. During inhalation, these muscles work together to increase thoracic volume, and during exhalation, they relax to help expel air from the lungs. Additional accessory muscles may be recruited during heavy breathing or respiratory distress.
Describe how the diaphragm and rib muscles work together to control inhaling and exhaling?
The diaphragm contracts and moves downward during inhalation, increasing the volume of the chest cavity and drawing air into the lungs. The rib muscles, such as the external intercostals, help expand the chest wall outward to create more space for the lungs to fill with air. During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward, while the rib muscles relax and help decrease the volume of the chest cavity, forcing air out of the lungs.
Do lungs have musles?
yes because organs are made up of tissues and so are muscles and for the lungs to move they need the muscle. So yes your lungs do have muscles.
Muscles that you cannot cantrol?
You cannot control the muscles in your heart and brain, and also your lungs, because they work automatically.
Does your chest expand because your lungs inflate or do your lungs inflate because your chest expands?
There are no muscles in the lungs that help inhale or exhale, this is the job of the diaphragm.
How does the respiratory system work together with the circulatory system and muscular system?
The circulatory system carries the oxygen full/lacking blood to and from the lungs. The muscular system makes the lungs expand and contract so the air can flow in and out of the lungs and out the capillaries.

What are the auxillary structures that also assist in respiration?
Auxiliary structures that assist in respiration include the diaphragm, intercostal muscles, and accessory muscles such as the scalene and sternocleidomastoid muscles. The diaphragm contracts and flattens to increase thoracic cavity volume, while intercostal muscles help expand and contract the rib cage. These structures work together to facilitate airflow into and out of the lungs during breathing. Additionally, the pleura and surfactant in the lungs assist in reducing friction and maintaining lung expansion, respectively.
