Bookmark or Share- Respiratory System: Functions and Organs - WebMDInhalation and exhalation are how your body brings in oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. The process gets help from a large dome-shaped muscle under your lungs called the diaphragm.
- Anatomy of breathing: Process and muscles of respiration | KenhubBreathing is one of the four components of respiration, the other three being gas diffusion, gas transport and regulation. The pathway towards the lungs is provided by airways and together, these components form the respiratory system, which is located inside the thoracic or chest cavity.
- Physiology of How Breathing Works - Verywell HealthBreathing involves a complex system of nerves, respiratory muscles, and airways that work in tandem to draw oxygen into the lungs during inspiration (inhalation). The inhaled oxygen is then transferred to red blood cells, which the heart pumps to tissues throughout the body.
- 22.3 The Process of Breathing – Anatomy & PhysiologyPulmonary ventilation consists of the process of inspiration (or inhalation), where air enters the lungs, and expiration (or exhalation), where air leaves the lungs. During inspiration, the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles contract, causing the rib cage to expand and move outward, and expanding the thoracic cavity and lung volume.
- How the Lungs Work What Breathing Does for the BodyWhen you breathe out, or exhale, your diaphragm and rib muscles relax, reducing the space in the chest cavity. As the chest cavity gets smaller, your lungs deflate, similar to how air releases from a balloon. At the same time, carbon dioxide-rich air flows out of your lungs through the windpipe and then out of your nose or mouth.
