Explain the mechanism of breathing in humans give me answer class 7 cbse
Answers
The breathing in human beings takes place through the organs called lungs. The taking in of air rich in oxygen into the body during breathing is called 'inhalation' and giving out (or expelling) the air rich in carbon dioxide is called 'exhalation'. Both, inhalation and exhalation take place regularly during breathing.
hope it is helpful dear
Answer:
The action of breathing in and out is due to changes of pressure within the thorax, in comparison with the outside. This action is also known as external respiration. When we inhale the intercostal muscles ( between the ribs) and diaphragm contract to expand the chest cavity. the diaphragm flattens and moves downwards and the intercostal muscles move the rib cage upwards and out. This increase in size decrease the internal air pressure and so air from the outside ( at a now higher pressure that inside the thorax) rushes into the lungs to equalise the pressures. When we exhale the diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax and return to their resting positions. This reduces the size of the theracio cavity, thereby increasing the pressure and forcing air out of the lungs.
