What is the primary mechanism of Diaphragm contracts and descends, increasing
inspiration? thoracic volume and decreasing intrathoracic
pressure.


What does compliance (C) Compliance measures the lung's ability to
measure in the lungs? stretch, calculated as C = DV/DP.


What is the effect of high High compliance indicates easier inflation,
compliance in the lungs? often seen in conditions like emphysema.

What is the role of resistance (R) in Resistance opposes airflow and is increased by
breathing? conditions like bronchospasm and airway
edema.


What happens during passive The diaphragm relaxes, and elastic recoil of the
expiration? lungs drives air out, increasing intrathoracic
pressure.
