The Mechanics Of Breathing Flashcards Quizlet 1. increased mucus secretion it will narrow the airway diameter, thus increase resistance. e.g. cystic fibrosis. 2. oedema (increased fluid retention in lungs) will cause swelling and narrowing of airways. 3. airway collapse (edac) during forced expiration, airways narrow causing increased resistance. Breathing mechanics. pressure relationships in the thorax. atmospheric pressure (patm) pressure gas exerts on surface of earth = 760 mm hg = 1 atm. intrapulmonary pressure (ppul) pressure in alveoli. rises falls during breathing phases. always eventually equalizes w atmospheric pressure. intrapleural pressure (pip) pressure in pleural cavity.
Mechanics Of Breathing Flashcards Quizlet Study with quizlet and memorize flashcards containing terms like list four primary functions of the respiratory system, list three similarities between bulk flow of air in the respiratory system and the bulk flow of blood through the cardiovascular system, distinguish between cellular respiration and external respiration and more. Mechanics of breathing. the processes of inspiration (breathing in) and expiration (breathing out) are vital for providing oxygen to tissues and removing carbon dioxide from the body. inspiration occurs via active contraction of muscles – such as the diaphragm – whereas expiration tends to be passive, unless it is forced. Ventilation is the process by which oxygen and co2 are transported to and from the lungs. the physics of breathing are based on boyle’s law. the key anatomical structures involved in ventilation include the lungs, diaphragm, rib cage and external intercostal muscles. active breathing involves the recruitment of accessory muscles to assist. The relationship between gas pressure and volume helps to explain the mechanics of breathing. there is always a slightly negative pressure within the thoracic cavity, which aids in keeping the airways of the lungs open. during inhalation, volume increases as a result of contraction of the diaphragm, and pressure decreases (according to boyle.

Figure 39.9.1 39.9. 1: inhalation and exhalation: the lungs, chest wall, and diaphragm are all involved in respiration, both (a) inhalation and (b) expiration. during this process, the chest wall expands out and away from the lungs. the lungs are elastic; therefore, when air fills the lungs, the elastic recoil within the tissues of the lung. The mechanics of human breathing. boyle’s law is the gas law that states that in a closed space, pressure and volume are inversely related. as volume decreases, pressure increases and vice versa (figure 9.4.2 9.4. 2). the relationship between gas pressure and volume helps to explain the mechanics of breathing.
