Inhalation is an active process and exhalation is a passive process
Actually, inhalation is considered a passive process because it is driven by the contraction of the diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles. These contractions create a negative pressure in the chest cavity, allowing air to be pulled into the lungs. Exhalation, on the other hand, is considered an active process, involving the relaxation of these muscles to push air out of the lungs.
I think you mean Respiration
Inhalation/Inspiration
inhalation
The opposite to breathing in
The medical term you are looking for is "respiration," which refers to the process of breathing involving both inhalation and exhalation movements of the lungs.
Breathing out in crocodiles is a passive process. As the muscles used for inhalation relax, the chest cavity naturally decreases in size causing air to be expelled from the lungs. Crocodiles do not have a diaphragm like mammals to actively control their breathing.
Cotransport is an active process.
Exocytosis is an active process.
Inhalation
Both inhalation and exhalation are part of the respiratory process where air is exchanged in the lungs. During inhalation, the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract to expand the chest cavity, allowing air to enter the lungs. During exhalation, these muscles relax, and the chest cavity decreases in size, forcing air out of the lungs. The key difference is the direction of airflow: inhalation is the process of taking air into the lungs, while exhalation is the process of expelling air from the lungs.
