LUNG STRUCTURE

NORMAL VENTILATORY FUNCTION Diaphragm contracts and descends,rib cage moves upwards and outward. Pressure in the thorax is less than in the mouth so air flow into the lungs occurs. In expiration diaphragm relaxes and moves upwards,the rib cage moves inward. Expiration is passive so no muscular contraction is needed. Lung tissue is intrinsically elastic and has a natural ability to recoil. During exercise expiration is aided by the contraction of abdominal and thoracic expiratory muscles. Contractions generate positive pressure in the thorax pushing air out
