Study Notes
Respiration
- Respiration is a biochemical process
- The lungs increase in surface area
- Air is filtered in the nasal passages
- The lungs are placed in the thoracic cavity
- Air is taken into the lungs
- Air is expelled out from the lungs
- The rib muscles and diaphragm help to assist in inhaling and exhaling
Inhaled vs Exhaled Air
- Composition of air changes between inhaling and exhaling
- Exhaled air has less oxygen and more carbon dioxide
Breathing Mechanism
- Inhalation: Rib muscles contract to lift the ribs upwards; diaphragm contracts; pressure decreases, volume increases.
- Exhalation: Rib muscles relax; ribs move downwards, diaphragm relaxes; pressure increases, volume decreases.
