Mechanisms of Breathing:

 * Inspiration: also known as inhalation, when the air is collected by the lungs
 * Active phase of breathing
 * Diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles contract
 * The diaphragm becomes a flat layer of muscle
 * The rib cages move up and out away from the interior of the body
 * Lungs expand and increase in size
 * The alveoli's air pressure goes down
 * Air can now naturally move throughout the respiratory system
 * Expiration: or exhalation, when the body releases air.
 * The thoracic wall and lungs expand and then immediately contract (recoil)
 * The organs of the abdominal areas move upward to the point where they are up under the diaphragm
 * This causes the rib cage to move down and towards the interior of the body
 * The surface tension decreases, so the alveoli does not collapse
 * The pressure is able to decrease in the pleura when the lungs recoil
 * Finally the lungs collapse as the air makes its way into the intrapleural space

__The Pathway of Air__

 * 1) The air travels through the continuous air wave down to the alveoli of the lungs from the pharynx.
 * 2) The lungs take in the air and expand. As the lungs expand, the rib cage moves outward and upward.
 * 3) The lungs comply to the elastic thoracic wall with the help of the pleura.
 * 4) The diaphragms contracts during the process
 * 5) The air is now able to travel naturally throughout the respiration system
 * 6) Finally, the extra air (carbon dioxide) exits the body by going back the same way it came in, as the lungs, diaphragm, and rib cage contract.

Maximum Inspiratory Effort and Forced Expiration

 * Simply when you apply your maximum effort physically, that you are forced to breath in and then exhale by force of the heavy exercise you are partaking in.

Body Parts Involved:

 * 1) Nasal passage
 * 2) Trachea
 * 3) Pharynx
 * 4) Larynx
 * 5) Alveoli
 * 6) Lungs
 * 7) Diaphragm
 * 8) Rib cage
