Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What mechanism primarily drives the process of inhalation?
  • Step 1: Understand that inhalation is the process of taking air into the lungs.
  • Step 2: Know that the diaphragm is a muscle located at the bottom of the chest cavity.
  • Step 3: When you inhale, the diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward.
  • Step 4: This contraction increases the space (volume) in the thoracic cavity (chest area).
  • Step 5: As the volume increases, the pressure inside the thoracic cavity decreases.
  • Step 6: The lower pressure allows air from outside to flow into the lungs.
