What else can I help you with?
What is the large breathing muscle that contracts to create a vacuum drawing air into the nose and mouth?
Your lungs are the largest breathing muscle in your body.
What system brings air to and from the lungs?
The respiratory system.
What muscle works with the lungs and ribs to get air in and waste gases out of the lungs?
The muscle is the "diaphragm" muscle. It is located beneath the lungs. When it moves down and away, it creates lower pressure around the lungs, and the air pressure outside the body flows into the lungs. When it moves up and in, it compresses the lungs, increasing the pressure to force the air back out.
What does the diaphran do to the respiratory system?
The diaphragm is a large, flat muscle located just below your lungs. When it dishes downward, it cause air to be sucked into the lungs. When it dishes upward, it pushes air out of the lungs. In other words, the diaphragm causes you to breath.
How is air moved into and out of the lungs and what organs are involved?
The main muscle of respiration (moving air into and out of the lungs) is the diaphragm.
What is a muscle that helps to bring air into a mammal's lungs?
The diaphragm helps bring air into animal lungs.
Which is the movement of the chest that brings air into the lungs and removes waste gases?
When your lungs move to bring in air and remove gases you are breathing.
What carries air into your lungs?
when you contract your diaphram, or the lung muscle, your lungs become somewhat empty. this is called a partial vacuum. this is something that air, water, anything that can go in try to fill. the lungs, now a vacuum, pull stuff, supposed to be air!,into the lungs.
Is the lungs a muscle?
Lungs are not muscles. They are made up of connective, epithelial, and nervous tissues. The diaphragm is the muscle that contracts and relaxes to expand and relax the chest cavity. Your lungs just fill with air -- which is why they appear to be moving (much like a when a balloon fills with air).
The muscle that the lungs rely on to take in and expel air is what?
The diaphragm is the main muscle responsible for breathing. When it contracts, it enlarges the chest cavity and creates a vacuum that allows the lungs to expand and take in air. When it relaxes, the chest cavity decreases in size, forcing air out of the lungs.
What is the wall of muscle underneath your lungs called?
The wall of muscle underneath your lungs is called the diaphragm. It plays a crucial role in the process of breathing by contracting and relaxing to help draw air into the lungs and then push air out.
How do the lungs move?
The diaphragm is a strong wall of muscle on the bottom of the chest cavity. As this wall of muscle expands downward, a vacuum is created which pulls air into the lungs. As the diaphragm returns to it's original position, air is pushed out of the lungs.
