Question 5
Question
What happens during inspiration?
Answer
The intercostal and diaphragm muscles contract
The ribcage moves upward and outwards and the diaphragm flattens
The volume in the thorax increases
The lung pressure decreases
Air flows into the lungs
The intercostal and diaphragm muscles relax
The ribcage moves downwards and inwards and the diaphragm becomes curved
The thorax volume decreases
The air pressure increases
Air is forced out of the lungs
Question 6
Question
Air always flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
Answer
True
False
Question 7
Question
When using a spirometer, the total volume of gas in the chamber decreases over time.
Answer
True
False
Question 8
Question
What happens during expiration?
Answer
The intercostal and diaphragm muscles contract
The ribcage moves upward and outwards and the diaphragm flattens
The volume in the thorax increases
The lung pressure decreases
Air flows into the lungs
The intercostal and diaphragm muscles relax
The ribcage moves downwards and inwards and the diaphragm becomes curved
The thorax volume decreases
The air pressure increases
Air is forced out of the lungs
