What else can I help you with?
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.
What are organs that expand to fill with air?
do you mean fills with air? if so then its the lungs
Why can the lungs expand and contract Is it because of muscular walls?
The lungs can expand and contract due to the presence of specialized muscles called the diaphragm and intercostal muscles that help regulate the volume of the thoracic cavity. When these muscles contract, the volume of the chest cavity increases, causing air to flow into the lungs (inhalation). When these muscles relax, the volume decreases, causing air to flow out of the lungs (exhalation).
How does air flow between neighboring alveoli?
You use the respirerotry system. To be precise when air is to be sucked in, the brain askes the lungs to expand, which naturally creates a low pressure inside the lungs. Similarly when the lungs are compressed the air inside is flushed out.
Under what conditions does air tend to flow into the lungs?
Air tends to flow into the lungs when thoracic volume increases and pressure decreases. When the opposite is true, air leaves the lungs.
When you exhale but dn't delibirately inhale why does air still flow into your lungs?
Because air diffuses from high pressure to low pressure, when we breath we aren't really "sucking" air in, our diaphragm lowers and our ribcage extends allowing our lungs to "expand" air then diffuses from the outside of the body into our lungs, when the diaphragm contracts it creates a higher pressure in the lungs compared to the outside, so air then diffuses from the lungs and out of the body.
When the lungs expand does it fills with air from the atmosphere?
Yes
What organ expands to fill with air?
Lungs expand to fill with air. It is done during respiration.
How do you inhale and exhale in the respiratory system?
During inhalation, the diaphragm and rib muscles contract to expand the chest cavity, allowing air to flow into the lungs. During exhalation, these muscles relax, causing the chest cavity to decrease in size and air to be pushed out of the lungs. This process is driven by changes in air pressure within the lungs.
How does surfactant affect the total air flow into lungs?
Surfactant is similar to a detergent, it keeps the fluid coating the lining of the alveoli from creating surface tension. This allows the alveoli to expand without hindrance, and allows greater air flow.
What sucks in air to pass through the bronchi?
The lungs expand drawing in air through the mouth or the nose.
What Organs that expand to fill with air?
its is the lungs come to us and get your answer
