Expiration during quiet breathing occurs when the diaphragm and external intercostals relax and the elastic properties of the thorax and lungs cause a passive decrease in thoracic volume. ... The lung separates from the thoracic wall: The air fills the pleural cavity, between the lung and chest wall.
How does expiration occur during quiet breathing?
In contrast, expiration is a passive process. As the diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax, the lungs and thoracic tissues recoil, and the volume of the lungs decreases. This causes the pressure within the lungs to increase above that of the atmosphere, causing air to leave the lungs.
What happens when quiet expires?
In healthy people quiet expiration or exhalation is passive and relies on elastic recoil of the stretched lungs as the inspiratory muscles relax, rather than on muscle contraction.
