What are the cervical vertebrae?
The sternocleidomastoid inserts on this bony process behind the ear.
What is the mastoid process?
In speech breathing, air is usually inhaled through this structure.
What is the mouth?
This muscle is an anterior rib cage depressor that lies between the ribs.
What are the internal intercostals?
This type of muscle tissue is used for voluntary movements.
What is striated?
The ilium is this type of bone
What is irregular?
These muscles are anterior thoracic rib cage elevators used during more forceful breathing.
What are the external intercostals?
This pressure is represented by Ps
What is subglottal pressure?
This posterior lower back muscle originates from T11-L3 and inserts on ribs 8-12.
What is serratus posterior inferior?
This parallel muscle is used for exhalation.
What is the rectus abdominis?
The largest portion of a vertebra
What is the corpus
The middle portion of the diaphragm is made up of this aponeurosis.
What is the central tendon?
This stage is the actual exchange of gases across the alveolar-capillary membrane.
What is diffusion?
The rectus abdominis inserts on this process of the sternum.
What is the xiphoid process?
This is an example of amphiarthrodial joint.
What is the pubic symphysis?
This is the part of the vertebrae where ribs attach
What is the transverse process?
This large radiating muscle elevates the sternum and ribs.
What is pectoralis major?
This volume is the amount of air exchanged during normal breathing.
What is tidal volume?
This abdominal muscle lies between the external oblique and transversus abdominis.
What is the internal oblique?
These are the 2 divisions of the human skeleton.
What are the axial and appendicular skeleton?
This region consists of five fused vertebrae and forms part of the pelvis
What is the sacrum?
The posterior attachment of the diaphragm is to these vertebrae.
What are L1-L4?
Vital capacity is calculated by adding these three volumes.
What are TV, IRV, and ERV?
These two major muscle groups are responsible for active exhalation.
What are thoracic and abdominal muscles?
This is the most superficial tissue of the body.
What is epithelial tissue?
