Describe what happens during inspiration and expiration
During inspiration:Diaphragm flattens 🡪 external intercostal muscles lift ribs outward + upwards which increased the volume of the chest cavity and pulls the walls of the lungs outward
Air pressure decreases within the lungs 🡪 air from outside rushes in
During expiration: Diaphragm relaxes 🡪 internal intercostal muscles allow the ribs and other structures return to resting position 🡪 volume of chest cavity decreases
Air pressure decreases 🡪 air forced out of lungs making the pressures equal (outside lungs and inside lungs)
