Wheezes - continuous high-pitched whistling sounds produced during breathing
The medical term for a hormone that stimulates contraction of the uterus during labor is oxytocin.
During expiration, alveolar pressure increases as the diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax, causing the lungs to contract. This rise in pressure exceeds atmospheric pressure, leading to the expulsion of air from the lungs. Typically, alveolar pressure during expiration can reach around +1 to +2 mmHg above atmospheric pressure, facilitating airflow out of the respiratory system.
Yes, the duration of inspiration or expiration can vary during forced vital capacity (FVC) and expiratory reserve volume (ERV) maneuvers. This variation is influenced by individual factors such as lung capacity, respiratory muscle strength, and airway resistance. In general, inspiration tends to take longer during FVC, while expiration tends to take longer during ERV.
The elasticity of the thoracic cage, including the ribs and intercostal muscles, causes expiration. During expiration, these structures recoil back to their resting position, pushing air out of the lungs.
During inspiration, the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract, expanding the chest cavity and allowing air to rush into the lungs. During expiration, the diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax, causing the chest cavity to decrease in size and air to be pushed out of the lungs.
Wheezing is a medical term for an abnormal, high-pitched breath sound during expiration.
Chyme is the medical term meaning stomach contents during digestion.
Nocturnal bruxism means grinding teeth during sleep.
HS is the medical abbreviation meaning at bedtime. Noct- is the medical terminology combining form meaning at night.
During eupnea, the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles contract to facilitate expiration.
The medical term for a hormone that stimulates contraction of the uterus during labor is oxytocin.
Scoliosis
It is a protein that is stretchable during dissolutions.
Obstructive sleep apnea is the medical term meaning periods during sleep when breathing stops. It is sometimes abbreviated OSA.
You die
During expiration, carbon dioxide is removed from the body while oxygen is still present in the exhaled air. Water vapor is also expelled during expiration.
