Elastic recoil functions during expiration. As the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles relax, the elastic tissues of the lungs recoil and air will forced out of the lungs...
i guess so
Elastic connective tissue is responsible for allowing the lung to expand during inhalation and recoil during exhalation. It provides the necessary elasticity to maintain the shape and function of the lung during breathing.
Elastic fibers made of the protein elastin has a coiled structure which allows it to stretch and recoil. Fibers can stretch up to 150 percent of their relaxed state length without breaking.
The structure that runs the length of the sarcomere through the thick filaments and contributes to the elastic recoil in muscle is the protein titin. Titin acts as a molecular spring, providing elasticity to the muscle and helping it return to its original length after contraction.
Elastic fibers can be stretched without breaking due to their ability to recoil back to their original shape.
In a person with emphysema, there is a significant loss of intrinsic elastic recoil in the lung tissue. This loss of elastic recoil occurs as the disease destroys the walls of the alveoli. Airway resistance is also increased as the lung tissue in general becomes more flimsy and exerts less mechanical tethering on the surrounding airways. Thus the lung becomes overly compliant and expands easily. Conversely, a great effort is required to exhale as the lungs can no longer passively recoil and deflate. A noticeable and exhausting muscular effort is required for each exhalation. Thus a person with emphysema exhales slowly. Thus decreasing the tidal volume.

yes
Elastic recoil refers to the ability of a stretched or deformed material to return to its original shape or size once the deforming force is removed. This phenomenon is commonly seen in elastic materials like rubber bands, blood vessels, and the lungs, where they can stretch and recoil back to their original state. In the case of the lungs, elastic recoil helps in exhaling air by effectively reducing the lung volume.
Longitudinal elastic fibers enable the trachea to stretch and descend with the roots of the lungs during inspiration.
due to elastic nature and if u stretch it more it will reach plastic state and would not recoil
Elastic filaments
If you see the cardiac cycle and you see the dichrotic notch, and there is a slight elevation of the aortic pressure after this notch, that's because of the pressure exerted by the elastic recoil of the aorta. Just imagine a bigger hill, followed by a smaller hill and the indentation between these two hills is the dichrotic notch and the hill after this notch is the graphic representation of the elastic recoil of the aorta. Hope this helps.
The force responsible for normal expiration is passive recoil of the lungs and chest wall. As the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles relax, the elastic recoil of these structures causes the lungs to decrease in volume, leading to expiration.

The Elastic Arteries :)
Yes, when the elastic recoil decreases, the compliance increases; the long is more weak; it will collapse sooner, so EPP moved into the small airways.
