During inspiration the intrapulmonary pressure and intrapleural pressure increases because while inspiring the lung volume increases and so pressure also increases.
The muscles involved in quiet inspiration:
Diaphragm
External intercoastal
Intercartilaginous
The muscles involved in forced inspiration:
Scaleness
Sternocleidomastoid muscle
The lungs are sealed to the Diaphragm by pleura.
During expiration the intrapulmonary and intrapleural pressure decreases and comes to normal level. Because during expiration the air is going out and volume of lung is decreased.
The muscle involved in quiet expiration:
All the respiratory muscles are relaxed
The muscles involved in forced expiration:
External intercoastal
Pectoral
Abdominal muscles

LABORATORY 9 Lab Report: Respiratory System: Physiology 1. Purpose of this exercise: Procedure 1. View histological slides pertaining to the respiratory system. 2. View torso and Respiratory models and diagrams. Questions 1. State the role carbon dioxide plays in maintaining a consistent blood pH. 2. There are two pairs of vocal folds. Which pair are the true vocal cords (superior/inferior)? Explain how the vocal cords produce speech? 3. State the function of the following structures nasal mucosa glottis cardiac notch...
Name 13. During gas exchange in the lungs, several factors affect the rate of gas diffusion across alveolar (the alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs) and tissue membranes. One of the factors is the difference in partial pressures of the gases across the membranes. The gases will diffuse from an area of high partial pressure to an area of low partial pressure, Look at the illustration below and note which blood vessels carry blood away from the lungs...
Which of these statements regarding the structure of the respiratory system is INCORRECT? The nose and pharynx are primarily involved in warming and humidifying air The bronchial tree becomes increasingly smaller towards the alveoli with the primary bronchi involved in filtering the air and removing foreign particles In the alveoli Type I cells are involved in surfactant production and Type II cells are involved in gas exchange The conducting airways of the lower respiratory system include the trachea and primary...
Joe Smith is a 69-year-old male with a 50-year history of
smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day (i.e. 100-pack-year smoking
history). Over the past 5 years, he has become increasingly short
of breath. At first, he noticed this only when exercising, but now
he is even short of breath at rest. Over the past two years, he has
had several bouts of lower respiratory tract infection treated
successfully with antibiotics. His shortness of breath hasn't
subsided, and his breathing...
