2. During inspiration...

  • The diaphragm contracts, external intercostal muscles contract, volume of chest cavity increases, pressure in chest cavity rises above atmospheric pressure, air moves out of lungs.
  • The diaphragm contracts, external intercostal muscles relax, volume of chest cavity decreases, pressure in chest cavity drops below atmospheric pressure, air moves into lungs.
  • The diaphragm relaxes, external intercostal muscles contract, volume of chest cavity increases, pressure in chest cavity rises above atmospheric pressure, air moves into lungs.

3. Cartilage allows for the oesophagus to expand during swallowing. - not true, the oesophagus has muscles to support it but no anatomical support like cartilage rings. Only the trachea and bronchi have C shaped cartilage rings
