Breathing is an automatic impulse caused by the Medulla Oblongata.

This will make you breathe automatically.

And obviously your brain would sense danger when you don't have enough oxygen in your blood so your brain would force you to breathe.

When carbon dioxide builds up in your body senses this and sends a message to your diaghragm and rib muscles telling thm to breath?

When carbon dioxide accumulates in the body, it can lead to an increase in acidity, which stimulates chemoreceptors in the brain to signal the diaphragm and other respiratory muscles to increase breathing rate and depth. This response helps to remove excess carbon dioxide from the body and restore its acid-base balance.


Describe the movement of the ribcage and diaphragm during exhalation?

I believe the ribs are there to protect our lungs, heart etc. When we breath in, what we are actually doing is telling our diaphragm to contract, which moves it in a downwards motion. This caused pressure in our lungs to lower which pulls in air.


What do the nerves carry to the muscles?

Electrical impulses telling them to contract or relax.

What cause body movement?

Body movement is primarily caused by the contraction and relaxation of muscles. Nerves send signals from the brain to the muscles, instructing them to contract or relax, which results in movement. Additionally, coordination between muscle groups and joints is essential for smooth and coordinated movement.


When you hold your breath your brain sends a message to the diaphragm and rib muscles telling them to breathe . why is this?

The brain uses a CO2 - O2 feedback system. CO2 rises as O2 is depleted. The brain receives signals of rising CO2, and triggers the diaphragm.Incidentally, this system becomes reversed in emphysema and severe lung conditions. The brain becomes accustomed to rising CO2. IF too much O2 is administered externally, it will stop the brain from signalling the next breath. So while a person with healthy lungs can tolerate external O2 at 8 liters per minute, people with emphysema can only tolerate no more than 2 liters per minute---or the person will stop breathing.
