What else can I help you with?
The what is the major abdominal muscle that relaxes when you exhale and contracts when you inhale?
The Diaphram
What takes place you initate and exhale?
When you inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward, expanding the chest cavity and drawing air into the lungs. The oxygen in the air is then exchanged with carbon dioxide in the blood. When you exhale, the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward, compressing the chest cavity and pushing air out of the lungs.
What is the muscle that stretches across the upper chest?
The thin sheet of muscle is called the diaphragm. It relaxes and contracts to help us inhale and exhale.
Does your diaphragm contract and move down when you inhale or exhale?
you inhale when your diaphragm contracts.
What is the changes in size of thoracic cavity during the contraction and relaxation of diaphragm?
When the Diaphragm contracts, it is pulled down, and is pulled back up when it relaxes.Also, when you inhale, it contracts. When you exhale, it relaxes.
What happens to the diaphragm when you inhale and when you exhale?
When the diaphragm contracts and moves lower, the chest cavity enlarges, reducing the pressure outside the lungs. To equalize the pressure, air enters the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes and moves back up, the elasticity of the lungs and chest wall pushes air out of the lungs.
What takes place when inhale and exhale?
take place when you inhale and exhale?
What muscle compress and move downward when you inhale?
the diaphragm. It is right above the heart and lungs, and expands and contracts when you breathe in and out. You can almost feel it move down a little, when you release air.
What allows you to inhale and exhale?
Inhalation requires the contraction of the diaphragm, and exhalation occurs when it relaxes.
When you inhale the diaphram does what?
it contracts when you exhale because it is pushing the air out of your lungs.
What is the reason for the outward rise and inward fall of people's belly alternatively with inspiration and expiration?
The outward rise and inward fall of the belly during breathing is due to the movement of the diaphragm muscle. When you inhale, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward, pushing the abdominal organs outward. When you exhale, the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward, allowing the abdominal organs to move inward.
What can you infer as to the function of the diaphragh?
The diaphragm is a muscle located below the lungs that plays a crucial role in the process of breathing. It contracts and flattens when you inhale, creating a vacuum to draw air into the lungs, and relaxes when you exhale, allowing air to be pushed out.
