Briefly explain how the volume in your thoracic cavity changes during inhalation and exhalation. Be sure your answer includes how those changes in volume lead to air moving in and out. Include which gas, oxygen or darbon dioxide regulates respiration rate.

Answer:

Both inhalation and exhalation depend on pressure gradients between the lungs and atmosphere, as well as the muscles in the thoracic cavity.

Explanation:

The thoracic cavity, or chest cavity, always has a slight, negative pressure which aids in keeping the airways of the lungs open. During the process of inhalation, the lung volume expands as a result of the contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles (the muscles that are connected to the rib cage), thus expanding the thoracic cavity. Due to this increase in volume, the pressure is decreased, based on the principles of Boyle’s Law. This decrease of pressure in the thoracic cavity relative to the environment makes the cavity pressure less than the atmospheric pressure. This pressure gradient between the atmosphere and the thoracic cavity allows air to rush into the lungs; inhalation occurs. The resulting increase in volume is largely attributed to an increase in alveolar space because the bronchioles and bronchi are stiff structures that do not change in size.During this process, the chest wall expands out and away from the lungs. The lungs are elastic; therefore, when air fills the lungs, the elastic recoil within the tissues of the lung exerts pressure back toward the interior of the lungs. These outward and inward forces compete to inflate and deflate the lung with every breath. Upon exhalation, the lungs recoil to force the air out of the lungs. The intercostal muscles relax, returning the chest wall to its original position. 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. This movement of air out of the lungs is classified as a passive event since there are no muscles contracting to expel the air.

Question
Use the text to identify the sentences with evidence that matches the claim.

Claim 1 --> Tropical rainforests contain more biodiversity than all other biomes.

1) Biodiversity refers to the total number of different species of all kinds living in an area.

2) Tropical rainforests have many of the climate characteristics that organisms of different species need to grow, such as warm temperatures, plenty of rain, and many food sources.

3) There are large amounts of daily sunlight, which provides a great deal of energy to a variety of rainforest organisms.

4) Surprisingly, rain forest soil is very poor.

5) Due to the large amounts of rainfall, nutrients are leached out of the soil quickly.

6) Warm temperatures cause dead organisms to decay quickly, and the nutrients are then used by many different plants.
