What else can I help you with?
What aides in the process of inhalation?
Negative pressure produced by the contraction of certain muscles like the diaphragm muscle and the intercostal muscles.
What is the movement of the chest that brings air into lungs and takes out waste gases called?
The movement of the chest that brings air into the lungs is called inhalation, and it is facilitated by the contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. Exhalation is the process of removing waste gases from the lungs, which is typically a passive process where the diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax.
What two muscles attach to the xiphoid process?
Rectus abdominis and diaphragm muscles
Why do people get the hickkups?
With the contraction of the diaphragm by spasm the inhaling of air is stopped suddenly the gap in the vocal cords reduce during the contraction of diaphragm which causes a hiccup and the process is repeated
Thoracic volume is increased during normal breathing by the?
contraction of the diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles, causing the ribcage to expand and the lungs to fill with air. This process creates negative pressure in the thoracic cavity, drawing air into the lungs to facilitate respiration.
What muscles are used when exhaling?
During a period of relaxed and average respiration, the muscles associated with inspiration, or the process of inhaling, include the muscles of the diaphragm, the external intercostal muscles, and the interchondral region of the internal intercostal muscles.
What sheet of muscles in your body cavity helps you during the breathing process?
Diaphragm
The diaphragm contractions are regulated by what nerve?
The diaphragm contractions are primarily regulated by the phrenic nerve, which originates from the cervical spine (C3-C5). This nerve controls the contraction and relaxation of the diaphragm muscle, allowing for the process of breathing to occur efficiently.
Do skeletal muscles have involuntary muscle?
The skeletal muscles do have the involuntary muscle because they help it in the contraction process.
Which phase of breathing inhalation or exhalation is considered active and passive?
Inhalation is an active process and exhalation is a passive process
What is the force behind weathering by thermal expansion and contraction?
The force behind weathering by thermal expansion and contraction is the repeated heating and cooling of rocks, causing them to expand and contract. This leads to the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces due to the stress created by the expansion and contraction process.
Is breathing out in crocodiles active or passive?
Breathing out in crocodiles is a passive process. As the muscles used for inhalation relax, the chest cavity naturally decreases in size causing air to be expelled from the lungs. Crocodiles do not have a diaphragm like mammals to actively control their breathing.
