Question 2

As the diaphragm flattens, it increases the vertical dimension of the thoracic cavity, also known as what?

Answer 2

INCREASED THORACIC VOLUME

Question 3

Inspiration is assisted by the contraction of what?

Answer 3

INTERCOSTALS

Question 4

What is the name of the movement when the ribs are raised and move laterally, which increases the transverse dimension of the thorax (increased thoracic volume)?

Answer 4

BUCKET-HANDLE MOVEMENT

Question 5

Describe the bucket-handle movement?

Answer 5

RIBS RAISED
\+
RIBS MOVE LATERALLY
=
INCREASES THE TRANSVERSE DIMENION OF THORAX
(INCREASED THORACIC VOLUME)

Question 6

What is the name of the movement when the ribs are raised and the anterior parts of the ribs and the sternum move anteriorly which increases the anteroposterior dimension of the thorax (increased thoracic volume)?

Answer 6

PUMP-HANDLE MOVEMENT

Question 7

Describe the pump-handle movement?

Answer 7

RIBS RAISED
+
ANT. PARTS OF RIBS+STERNUM MOVE ANTERIORLY
=
INCREASES THE ANTEROPOSTERIOR DIMENSION OF THE THORAX
(INCREASED THORACIC VOLUME)

Question 8

Answer 8

INCREASED ABDOMINAL PRESSURE
+
DECREASE THORACIC PRESSURE

Question 9

Respiration is important for normal blood and lymphatic _____________.

Answer 9

CIRCULATION

Question 10

With _____________, the thoracic volume increases which decreases thoracic pressure AND the abdominal volume decreases which increases abdominal pressure.

Answer 10

INSPIRATION

Question 11

Describe what happens with pressure and volume during inspiration?

Answer 11

THORACIC VOLUME INCREASES
DECREASES THORACIC PRESSURE
\+
ABDOMINAL VOLUME DECREASES
INCREASES ABDOMINAL PRESSURE
