Thoracic volume is reduced by
Answers
P= 1/v. As the volume increases, pressure decreases; as volume decreases, the pressure increases. Inspiration: diaphragm contracts (drops) increasing volume of thoracic cavity. contraction of external intercostals muscle helps increase volume of.
Answer:Thorasic volume is reduced by contraction and relaxation in diapgram.
Explanation: By contraction in diaphgram results in increase in volume in anterio- posterior axis and relaxation results in decrease in the volume in anterio-posterior axis similarly contraction in external inter coastal muscles results in increase in dorso-ventrally axis and vice versa in relaxation in external inter-coastal muscles.
So from above explanation we get that,
Pressure is inversely proportional to volume. That is increase in intra pulmonary pressure = decrease in pulmonary volume.
And this is done by diapgram.
Hope you get the answer.
