50
Q

There are 2 main events that occur when breathing:

A

Inhalation
Exhalation

51
Q

Inhalation
The diaphragm concentrically contracts, pulling the central tendon of the diaphragm inferiorly. As a result, the dome of the diaphragm descends toward the abdomen, and thoracic volume ________, while intra-thoracic pressure ________. This creates a vacuum, resulting in an influx of air into the lungs.

A

increases
decreases

52
Q

T/F Diaphragmatic movement also assists with venous return, by way of “pumping” the vena cava.

A

TRUE

53
Q

during this process, intra-abdominal pressure increases, causing the stomach to move outward?

A

Inhalation

54
Q

During normal quiet breathing, the diaphragm alone produces most of the effort required to _______ thoracic volume. The remainder is accomplished by ________ inspiratory muscles.

A

increase
accessory

55
Q

This process is normally passive during quiet breathing. During this phase of the breath cycle, the diaphragm ascends.

A

Exhalation

56
Q

During this process, thoracic volume _______ as the diaphragm ascends, and pulmonary pressure _______. These events lead to the movement of air out of the lungs, into the atmosphere.

A

Diaphragm

65
Q

The elastic properties of the lung tissue …….. explain

A

…….. allow then to recoil, which pulls the visceral pleura back in as it follows the lung tissue. The visceral layer separates from the parietal layer, creating more negative pressure. The parietal layer follows the visceral layer, assisting the ribs moving back to their resting position.

66
Q

this action involves the contraction of the internal intercostal muscles

A

Forced expiration

67
Q

Forced expiration action involves the contraction of the _______ ________ muscles

A

internal intercostal

68
Q

Forced expiration – involves the contraction of the internal intercostal muscles (that ……

A

bring the ribs together, decreasing thoracic volume, and increasing thoracic pressure

69
Q

Forced expiration – involves the contraction of the internal intercostal muscles (that bring the ribs together, decreasing thoracic volume, and increasing thoracic pressure), in addition to the ________ , ________ _________ ________ , and the _____________

A

QL, serratus posterior inferior, and the abdominals

70
Q

These muscles are recruited during heavy exercise, coughing, sneezing, etc.

A
