Breathe in... and out

Paragraph 3: Like a pair of bellows

Ways of breathing

Goals

In the end of this lesson:

• I know the difference between thoracic and abdominal inhalation/exhalation.
• I know when the diaphragm goes up.

Thoracic inhalation:

1. Intercostal muscles contract
2. Ribs move upward and forward
3. Chest becomes bigger
4. Lungs become bigger
   
5. air is sucked into the lungs

Thoracic exhalation:

1. Intercostal muscles relax
2. Ribs move downward and backward
3. Chest becomes smaller
4. Lungs become smaller
   
5. Air is pushed out of the lungs

Abdominal inhalation:

1. Abdominal muscles contract
2. The diaphragm contracts and moves down
3. Chest becomes bigger
4. Lungs become bigger
   
5. Air is sucked into the lungs

Abdominal exhalation:

1. Abdominal muscles relax
2. The diaphragm moves up
3. Chest becomes smaller
4. Lungs become smaller
   
5. Air is pushed out of the lungs

This way of breathing is:... ?

This way of breathing is:...

Chest breathing is used during / in

1. your sleep and while resting
2. action
3. both
4. neither

Combined breathing

spirometer

measures long volume, but which one?

tidal volume: volume of air you breathe in or out

vital capacity: when you exhale as much as you can

residual volume: what's left after you exhale as much as you can

lung volume: vital + residual volume
