The intercostal muscles 2 of 10 Which direction does gas move in relation to pressure From an area of high pressure to low pressure 3 of 10 Because inhaling uses energy, what is the name for the process An active process 4 of 10 What happens to the intercostal muscles during inhalation and how do they move the ribs? They contract and pull the ribs upwards and outwards 5 of 10 What happens to the intercostal muscles during exhalation and how do they move the ribs? They relax and move the ribs downwards and inwards 6 of 10 What happens to the diaphragm during inhalation and how does this effect the volume of the thorax? The diaphragm contracts and flattens increasing the volume of the thorax 7 of 10 What happens to the diaphragm during exhalilation and how does this effect the volume of the thorax? The diaphragm relaxes and forms a dome and the volume of the thorax decreases 8 of 10 How does the pressure change during inhalation? The increase in volume decreases the pressure so air enters the lungs 9 of 10 How does the pressure change during exhalation? The decrease in volume increases the pressure so air is forced out of the lungs 10 of 10
