What else can I help you with?
What results from the contraction of diaphragm and external intercostal muscles?
an exhalation
What muscles are activated during normal quiet inspiration?
The Phrenic Nerve-Diaphragm and the External Intercostal Nerve-External intercostal muscles
What are the muscles involved in changing the volume of the thorax during breathing?
The diaphragm and external intercostal muscles are primarily involved in changing the thoracic volume during breathing. The diaphragm contracts during inhalation to increase thoracic volume, while the external intercostal muscles help lift and expand the rib cage.
What small muscles elevate the ribs during breathing?
External intercostal muscles are the ones between the ribs that help elevate them during inspiration.
How many external intercostal muscles are there?
There are 11 pairs of external intercostal muscles in humans. These muscles are located between the ribs and are involved in expanding the chest cavity during inhalation.
What happens to rib muscles when they relax?
The internal intercostal muscles relax and the external intercostal muscles contract, pulling the ribcage upwards and outwards.
What 2 muscles work together during inhalation?
The diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles.
What muscle expand chest cavity upward during inspiration?
The diaphragm (a sheet of muscle underneath the ribcage) and intercostal muscles (located between your ribs).
What is inhalation caused by?
Inhalation is caused by the contraction of the diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles. This causes the chest cavity to expand, creating a negative pressure that allows air to flow into the lungs.
Name the muscles that raise and lower the ribs in a fetal pig?
The external intercostal muscles raise the ribs during inhalation, while the internal intercostal muscles lower the ribs during exhalation in a fetal pig.
An unpaired muscle that acts with the muscle to accomplish inspiration?
Inspiration is due to the contraction of the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles.
What aides in the process of inhalation?
Negative pressure produced by the contraction of certain muscles like the diaphragm muscle and the intercostal muscles.
