What else can I help you with?
What causes the air pressure in your lungs to decrease and make you inhale?
When you inhale, oxygen fills your lungs. Next the oxygen diffuses out of your lungs into your bloodstream. The diffusion of oxygen from the lungs causes less pressure in your lungs signaling your brain that you need to inhale.
When you inhale does pressure decrease inside or increase?
The act of inhaling is to create low pressure in the lungs, causing the air in the atmosphere to rush in as it is moving from a higher pressure (outside in the atmosphere) to the lower pressure (created in the lungs). However the fact that air does move into the lungs means that there is no net change in pressure.
What structures do you use to inhale air into your lungs?
diaphragm.
Why do air rush in our lungs when we inhale?
Air rushes into our lungs when we inhale due to a decrease in pressure within the thoracic cavity created by the contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. As the diaphragm flattens and the chest expands, the volume of the thoracic cavity increases, leading to a drop in pressure relative to the outside atmosphere. This pressure difference causes air to flow in through the nose or mouth and into the lungs, where it is exchanged for carbon dioxide.
Does your chest expand because your lungs inflate or do your lungs inflate because your chest expands?
There are no muscles in the lungs that help inhale or exhale, this is the job of the diaphragm.
Which of these processes occurs when you inhale?
When you inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward, while your rib cage expands. This creates a decrease in air pressure in your lungs, causing air to rush in through your nose and mouth. Oxygen is then absorbed into the bloodstream through the alveoli in the lungs.
What is the of air into and out of your lungs?
oxygen goes into your lungs and then co2 comes out when mixed with a substance in your lungs.
What takes place when inhale and exhale?
take place when you inhale and exhale?
How does air travel when you inhale?
It travels down the trachea to your lungs.
How do alligators obtain oxygen?
Alligators are air breathers. They inhale and exhale through their nostrils. Their lungs absorb oxygen from the air that they inhale.
When you inhale the diaphram does what?
it contracts when you exhale because it is pushing the air out of your lungs.
What element makes up the majority of the air we inhale?
are lungs and oxogent
