✔✔-lower

-phrenic nerve stimulates the diaphragm and respiratory muscles

-diaphragm and muscles move down and outward

-negative pressure created inside the lungs

-thoracic veins drain blood into the lungs

-increase in intrapulmonary volume

-decrease in intrapulmonary pressure by 4mmHg= 756mmHg

-air enters lungs



What are the 2 types of chemoreceptors and their functions? - answer ✔✔-Central receptors

-located near the medulla

-detect hydrogen concentration in CSF and by detecting hydrogen, it can tell if CO2 has increased

Peripheral receptors

-detects a decrease in O2 levels, and if decreased, it stimulates the medulla



What are the steps of expiration? - answer ✔✔--inhalation caused the lungs to be filled with air
