two branches at the end of the trachea, each lead to a lung

a network of smaller branches leading from the bronchi into the lung tissue & ultimately to air sacs

A rising level of CO2 causes bronchioles to dilate. This lowers the resistance in the airways and thus increases the flow of air in and

Primary muscles of respiration


External intercostal muscles (located between the ribs) Diapragm ( a sheet of muscle located between the thoracic and abdominal activities)

Human Respiratory System

BREATHING

During inspiration (inhaling), The external intercostal muscles contract, lifting the ribs up and out. The diaphragm contracts, drawing it down .

Human Respiratory System

BREATHING

During expiration (exhaling), these processes are reversed and the natural elasticity of the lungs returns them to their normal volume. At rest, we breath 1518 times a minute exchanging about 500 ml of air.

Human Respiratory System

BREATHING

In more vigorous expiration, The internal intercostal muscles draw the ribs down and inward The wall of the abdomen contracts pushing the stomach and liver upward.
