external/ internal intercostals
Aid in respiration - usually deeper breathing
A Internal Positive Pressure aid is an artificial aid for breathing used if you have problems with your muscles or lungs.
Both aid in the expansion and relaxation of lungs.
The diaphragm is the main muscle of respiration. Other muscles, such as the intercostals, also aid breathing.
These are diaphragm and externa intercostal muscles in quiet breathing and sternocliedomastoid ,sclene muscles,anterior serrati in heavy breathing
To improve your breathing by engaging your abdominal muscles, focus on breathing deeply and slowly while consciously contracting your abdominal muscles. This can help strengthen your diaphragm and improve the efficiency of your breathing. Practice diaphragmatic breathing exercises regularly to enhance your breathing technique.
it stands for "is the patient breathing?"
Pleural muscles do not aid in ventilation. The pleural space acts as a lubricated surface that allows the lungs to expand and contract during breathing, but it is not a muscle that directly influences the movement of air in and out of the lungs.
diaphragm
Myopathy of the breathing muscles is serious as there may be serious breathing difficulties and increased risk for pneumonia, flu, and other respiratory infections.
First of all, it matters what type of MD you have, but generally since the disease weakens your muscles to the diaphragm, intercostal muscles and other muscles involved in breathing begin to die, and make breathing harder and harder.
Eric is breathing heavily what ATP harvesting pathway have his working muscles been using that leads to such a breathing pattern?
