during normal quiet expiration all respiratory muscles are at rest, it just depends on elastic recoil of lungs and chest.

in normal inspiration the main muscle is your diaphragm

What is abdominothoracic respiration?

Abdominothoracic respiration is the type of respiration dominant in males.In this type of respiration the muscles of stomach and diaphragm play a greater part than the thoracic muscles.The dominant respiration in females is thoracoabdominal respiration in which thoracic muscles are dominant.It is speculated the thoracoabdominal respiration(IN WHICH ABDOMINAL MUSCLES ARE USED LESS THAN THORACIC MUSCLES)help women in maintaing the respiratory movements in pregnancy when a great volume of abdomen is used up by the fetus.


What type of respiration does muscle cells perform?

Muscle cells primarily perform aerobic respiration, which involves the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP. However, during intense physical activity or when there is limited oxygen availability, muscle cells can also switch to anaerobic respiration, which produces energy without the need for oxygen but results in the accumulation of lactic acid.


What type of cellular respiration causes muscle contraction?

Aerobic cellular respiration produces energy for muscle contraction but this is not what causes the contractions. The binding properties between the proteins actin and myosin are what give muscles the ability to contract.


What is aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic means respiration that occurs with oxygen and anaerobic means without oxygen. They are both used by different muscles in our bodies. Aerobic is used by Fast Twitch Type B, and anaerobic by Fast Twitch Type A and Slow Twitch muscles.

What happens to muscles when there is not enough oxygen?

oxygen debt. more oxygen is needed than what is being supplied. the body then begins anaerobic respiration (the cells "breathe" for you). a result of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid. lactic acid is that soreness feeling you get after a hard workout


What is the explanation for the two types of respirations?

The first type of respiration is anaerobic respiration. This type of respiration does not have enough oxygen supplied. The body would be not delivering enough oxygen or the environment does not contain enough oxygen. Two things can happen is anaerobic respiration. Ethanol and lactic acid fermentation. Ethanol occurs in yeast cells in an oxygen poor environment. The product of this is alcohol. Lactic acid occurs in human cells. It occurs during strenuous exercise. This reaction begins with glycolysis, when insufficient oxygen is delivered to working muscles the pyruvate can not be shipped into the mitochondria to continue the metabolic process. Therefore the pyruvate converts to lactic acid so the cells do not run out off ATP. Lactic acid makes muscles hurt and feel sore. It will decrease the performance of the muscles.The second type of respiration is aerobic respiration, which occurs when the oxygen demand of cells are adequately met. This type of respiration produces large amount o energy.
