Study Notes

Respiratory System

  • Two types of forces resist the movement of air into the lungs:
    • Elastic forces of the lungs and chest cage
    • Resistive forces of the airways
  • The primary muscles responsible for moving air into the lungs are:
    • Diaphragm
    • External intercostal muscles
    • Accessory muscles (such as sternocleidomastoid, scalene, and pectoralis)
  • The respiratory muscles must generate negative pressure to move air into the lungs
