How should I know?
first of all you should know. but since you must be clueless (no offense :/) the correct answer would be yes, your diaphragm does go down when you inhale
Ew, the above answer is absolutely obnoxious.
Your diaphragm moves down when you inspire air.
It does this to help the lungs open up so more air can get in. Your diaphragm is attached to the lung by pleura.
Imagine wearing two latex gloves on one hand. If you pinch one of the gloves, say on the back of your hand, and pull the glove up, the second glove will follow. The first glove is what is attached to your diaphragm and the second glove is your lungs.
Now if air goes into the second glove (or your lungs) it will fill the space you just made (especially because there is negative pressure in the glove, just like the lungs)
What else can I help you with?
When the diaphragm contracts and forces the abdominal organs downward what happens to the respiratory system?
As the volume of space above the pulled down diaphragm increases, air rushes into the lungs and they inflate, bringing fresh oxygenated air into the respiratory system.
Which muscle is the prime mover for inhalation?
Diaphragm is the the prime mover for the inhalation. It is a dome shaped partition between the thorax and the abdomen. It gets some what flat as it contracts. The volume of the thorax increases. There by the air is pulled in the thorax.
What happens during meiosis during anaphase 1?
The tetrads are pulled apart.
What two statements describe how the diaphragm works?
The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle that contracts and relaxes during breathing. When it contracts, it flattens out and pulls downwards, creating a vacuum that expands the chest cavity and draws air into the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes, it moves back to its original dome shape, pushing air out of the lungs as the chest cavity decreases in size. This process of contracting and relaxing allows for inhalation and exhalation, enabling breathing to occur.
What happens to rocks when they undergo stress?
When the tension (stress) is great enough, they will fracture or deform.
How do you pull a muscle in your diaphragm?
Your diaphragm IS muscle. When we inhale, it is pushed down. When we exhale, it is pulled up.
What is the changes in size of thoracic cavity during the contraction and relaxation of diaphragm?
When the Diaphragm contracts, it is pulled down, and is pulled back up when it relaxes.Also, when you inhale, it contracts. When you exhale, it relaxes.
What occurs when the diaphragm and rib muscles contracts?
The diaphragm is a sheet of internal skeletal muscle. when relaxed it's domed shaped smooth muscle. upon contraction it reduces in length hence pulling inward which then increases the lung volume creating a negative pressure relative to the aveoli. This ensures that proper gas exchange occurs. Now when the diaphragm relaxes, it returns back into is dome shape ( longer in length) and pushes upward thereby reduces the lungs volume and increasing the pressure relative to the surrounding thus you exhale. Another simple way to approach it is by playing around with PV=nRT in your head if you must.
When the diaphragm contracts and forces the abdominal organs downward what happens to the respiratory system?
As the volume of space above the pulled down diaphragm increases, air rushes into the lungs and they inflate, bringing fresh oxygenated air into the respiratory system.
Which muscle are located between the ribs and help move the rib cage during breathing?
Muscles of Respiration: The main muscles of respiration are the Diaphragm, which forms the partition of the chest from the abdomen, and the abdominal muscles. Accessory muscles will also take part in helping with respiration during respiratory distress after severe exercise, respiratory obstruction, heart failure. The accessory muscles are, sternocleidomastoid, platysma, and the strap muscles of the neck.
What happens to the pressure and volume inside the thoracic cavity when you pull the rubber diaphragm down the lung model?
When the diaphragm is pulled down, the volume of the thoracic cavity increases, and the air pressure in the thoracic cavity decreases. This causes inhalation.
What role does the diaphragm play in the respiratory process?
during inhalation the diaphragm contracts chest expand lungs are pulled outwards and alveolar pressures decreases.during exhalation the diaphragm relaxers lungs recoil inward and alveolar pressure increases,forcing air out of the lungs.
What happens to the thoracic cavity when the diaphragm relaxes?
When the diaphragm relaxes, the volume of the thoracic cavity decreases. The resultant decrease in thoracic cavity leads to an increase in the pressure. This increase in pressure leads to the exhalation of air out of the lungs into the atmosphere.
How does the diaphragm work to allow the lungs to inflate?
The diaphragm is a thin band of muscle under the lungs. When it contracts, the lungs are pulled up and out, reducing the air pressure and causing oxygen to be drawn in. When the diaphragm relaxes, the carbon dioxide is pushed out of the lungs.
What happens if you pulled hair from your sac?
You die.
Which muscle is the prime mover for inhalation?
Diaphragm is the the prime mover for the inhalation. It is a dome shaped partition between the thorax and the abdomen. It gets some what flat as it contracts. The volume of the thorax increases. There by the air is pulled in the thorax.
What happens if a sea star is pulled apart?
