Answer 16

increase

Question 17

The circumference of the chest increases as the _____ contracts.

Answer 17

external intercostals

Question 18

The height of the thoracic cavity is increases as the _____ contracts.

Answer 18

diaphragm

The contraction of the____ and ____ allow the lungs to expand which increase its ____ which decreases its _____.

Answer 19

external intercostals; diaphragm; volume; pressure

Question 20

Measure of stretchability or flexibility of the lungs:

Answer 20

compliance

Question 21

Low compliance means:

Answer 21

lungs can’t expand so the volume of the lungs can’t increase
