Term | Definition |
Breathing | The mechanism by which mammals ventilate their lungs. Air flows from a region of HIGH pressure to a region of LOW pressure. |
Intercostal Muscles | Muscles between the ribs on the rib cage. |
Diaphragm | A muscle that separates the lungs from the stomach. (Every mammal has a _________). |
Inhalation | When the external intercostal muscles and diaphragm contract. Diaphragm moves down in the chest cavity which increases the volume of this cavity. |
Exhalation | The external intercostal muscles and diaphragm relax. Internal intercostal muscles contract to pull the rib cage back to its original position. |
Tidal Volume | The volume of air inhaled and exhaled in a normal breathing movement. |
Inspiratory Reserve Volume | Additional volume of air that can be taken in, beyond the tidal volume. |
Expiratory Reserve Volume | The additional volume that can be forced out of the lungs, beyond the tidal volume. |
Vital Capacity | The total volume of gas that can be moved in or out of the lungs. |
Residual Volume | The amount of gas that remains in the lungs and the passageways of the respiratory system even after a full exhalation. |
Respiratory Efficiency | The rate at which the oxygen can be transferred into the blood stream for transport to the rest of the body. |
