The air pressure in your lungs is typically lower than the atmospheric pressure outside your body when you inhale. This difference in pressure allows air to flow into the lungs. During exhalation, the pressure in the lungs becomes higher than the atmospheric pressure, causing air to be expelled. Thus, the pressure changes dynamically with each breath.

Why does air flow in when you expand your lungs?

Since the volume of the lungs increases, the intrathotacic pressure decreases, and air moves into the lungs.


If the pressure inside the lungs decreases outside air is pushed into the airways by what?

The pressure inside the lungs decreases as the ribcage moves out and up. Air from outside basically gets pushed in by other air molecules due to the pressure gradient (air moves from a high pressure to a low pressure)


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.


Is air pressure inside a building high or low?

the air pressure is a bulding is high because the outside is pressure is low

Does air go from high to low or low to high?

Air tends to flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. This movement occurs in an attempt to equalize pressure differences in the atmosphere.


Does air move from high pressure or to low to high?

high to low


Does wind occur as air moves from a place of low air pressure to a place of high air pressure?

Yes, wind occurs as air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Air naturally moves from high pressure to low pressure in an attempt to equalize the pressure imbalances.
