When you take a deep breath and want to exhale it, but keep you nose and mouth close you will raise your intrathoracic pressure and secondary your abdominal and intracranial pressure.

So, because of secondary raise of brain pressure in the act of defecation for example some people (especially elderly people and those with constipation) will make an brain stroke.

Breathing


What pressure rises and falls with the phases of breathing but eventually equalizes with the atmospheric pressure?

Intrapleural pressure rises and falls with breathing phases but eventually equalizes with atmospheric pressure. This pressure difference aids in lung expansion and ventilation by creating a pressure gradient for air to flow into and out of the lungs.


What pressures rises and falls with the phases of breathing but eventually equalizes with the atmospheric pressure?

Intrapulmonary Pressure


Pleural cavity pressure?

The pleural cavity pressure is a negative pressure within the space between the lungs and the chest wall, which helps to maintain the expansion of the lungs during breathing. This negative pressure is created by the opposing forces of the lung's natural elastic recoil and the chest wall's tendency to pull outwards. A disruption in this pressure can lead to breathing difficulties.

Which is true about intrapulmonary pressure and intrapleural pressure?

Intrapulmonary pressure is the pressure inside the lung alveoli, while intrapleural pressure is the pressure in the pleural cavity. During normal breathing, intrapleural pressure is lower than intrapulmonary pressure, creating a pressure gradient that helps keep the lungs inflated.


How does the thorax enable us to breathe?

the volume of breathing in increases and when breathing out it decreases, the pressure in Inhaling decreases and the Exhaling increases.


What is the best barometric pressure for optimal breathing?

The best barometric pressure for optimal breathing is typically around 760 mmHg, which is considered standard atmospheric pressure at sea level. This level of pressure allows for the lungs to efficiently exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide during respiration.


Does the attitude of an area affects the breathing rate?

Yes the altitude of the area does affect the breathing rate becaue the higher you go the lower the air pressure and the the lower you go the lower the air pressure.


How is breathing effected in space?

Breathing is not possible in space. Except inside a space suit or other container filled with gas at significant pressure. But then you're not actually breathing "in space".


What partial pressure of oxygen is a scuba diver breathing if the total pressure is 6.3 ATM and 20 percent of the air is oxygen?

The partial pressure of oxygen can be calculated by multiplying the percentage of oxygen in the air by the total pressure. In this case, 20 percent of 6.3 ATM is 1.26 ATM. Therefore, the scuba diver is breathing oxygen at a partial pressure of 1.26 ATM.
