What else can I help you with?
Where does air go when its in your lungs?
the diaphragm pushes up and the air flows out the diaphragm pushes down and the air flows in
As it decreases air flows into the passageways of the lungs?
intra pulmonary pressure
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.
In which animal does air flow through the lungs in one direction only?
Birds. (in biology book-the living world 5th edition/g. Johnson and j. losos/page578 Additional information: in birds, incoming air flows through the lungs and on into air sacs. When the air is expelled, it flows from the air sacs back through the lungs on its way out of the body. So the flow of air is still tidal, as in humans, but the air does not "stop and turn around" in the lungs.
What happens when pressure is lower inside the lungs than outside the lungs?
When pressure inside the lungs is lower than outside, air flows into the lungs to equalize the pressure. This is known as inhalation, where the diaphragm contracts and the rib cage expands to create more space for air to enter the lungs.
When intrapulmonary pressure increases over atmospheric pressure does air flows out of the lungs?
Yes, when intrapulmonary pressure increases above atmospheric pressure, air flows out of the lungs. This occurs during the process of expiration, where the diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax, decreasing the volume of the thoracic cavity. As the volume decreases, the pressure inside the lungs rises, causing air to be expelled until the pressures equalize.
What are the difference between birds and mammals respiration?
Birds respiratory system maintain a high metabolic rate and supplies the extra oxygen required for high-attiude flight , While the mammals respiratory system brings air(oxygen) into the lungs.
When cool dry air sinks from the upper atmosphere toward the Earth's surface what happens?
water vapor happens or gas flows into the air
What is the names of the tubes through which air flows when you breathe?
The two main tubes through which air flows when you breathe are the trachea, also known as the windpipe, and the bronchial tubes, which branch off from the trachea and lead to the lungs.
What are the two types of air cooled condenser?
Air cooled condensers are of two types: natural convection and forced convection. In the natural convection type, the air flows over it in natural a way depending upon the temperature of the condenser coil. In the forced air type, a fan operated by a motor blows air over the condenser coil.
The order or events that occur during expiration when the lungs are filled with air.?
four movements 1 inspirator muscles relax 2 thoracic volume decreases 3 thoracic pressure increases 4 air flows out of lungs
When you exhale what does your air pressure do?
When you exhale, the air pressure inside your lungs increases as the diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax, causing the volume of the thoracic cavity to decrease. This increase in pressure forces air out of the lungs and into the atmosphere, where the pressure is lower. As a result, air flows from the higher pressure in the lungs to the lower pressure outside. This process is a fundamental part of respiration.
