thoracic space pulls air into the lungs.
●● Exhalation (expiration)
Answer: breathing out.
the diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax which then forces air out of
the lungs.
●● Chemical regulation
Answer: Influenced by chemoreceptors located in the carotid and aortic
bodies and in the medulla of the brain
●● Respiratory center
Answer: Nerves and a chemical control mechanism contribute to the
regulation of respirations
The medulla
Automatically controls inhalation
, ●● Pleura
Answer: Allows the lungs to hold pressure and promotes movement
●● Internal respiration
Answer: Occurs between the bloodstream and the body cells
●● External respiration
Answer: Occurs between the alveoli and the capillaries
