During exhalation, the pressure in the lungs is greater than the atmospheric pressure (lung volume decrease and pressure increases); thus, air moves out of the lungs. It is also known as inhalation. ... As a result, thoracic volume is decreased and the thoracic pressure is increased, which forces the air out of the lungs.
What happens to the pressure in the lungs during exhalation?
During exhalation, the diaphragm also relaxes, moving higher into the thoracic cavity. This increases the pressure within the thoracic cavity relative to the environment. Air rushes out of the lungs due to the pressure gradient between the thoracic cavity and the atmosphere.
When we inhale the pressure inside the lungs?
Inspiration (inhalation) is the process of taking air into the lungs. It is the active phase of ventilation because it is the result of muscle contraction. During inspiration, the diaphragm contracts and the thoracic cavity increases in volume. This decreases the intraalveolar pressure so that air flows into the lungs.
