Study Notes
Breathing Processes
- Inspiration (Inhalation) is an active process requiring muscle contraction.
- Diaphragm contracts, moving downward, increasing thoracic cavity volume.
- External intercostals contract, lifting and expanding the ribcage.
- Intrapulmonary pressure decreases below atmospheric pressure.
- Air flows into lungs due to the pressure gradient.
Expiration (Exhalation)
- Usually a passive process during quiet breathing.
- Diaphragm relaxes, moving upward.
- Internal intercostals contract (during forced expiration) depressing the ribcage.
- Thoracic cavity volume decreases.
- Intrapulmonary pressure rises above atmospheric pressure.
- Air is expelled from the lungs.
External Respiration
- Occurs in the alveoli.
- Oxygen diffuses into pulmonary capillaries.
- Carbon dioxide diffuses into alveoli.
Internal Respiration
- Occurs in the tissues.
- Oxygen diffuses into cells.
- Carbon dioxide diffuses into systemic capillaries.
