The term mechanics of respiration refers to the forces, pressure and volume changes that occur in the thoracic cage and the lungs so that the air can move into the lungs during inspiration and out during expiration.
The lungs are housed inside the thoracic cage. Both lungs and thoracic cage are elastic structures, that is they can expand and recoil back to their respective resting positions. When seen independently the resting position of lungs is collapsed while thoracic cavity is in much more expanded position. But in an intact human body, lungs are housed inside the thoracic cavity separated by pleural membranes. Since the natural tendency of thoracic cage is to move outwards and that of lungs is to move inwards, these opposite forces act on each other. This keeps the lungs a bit expanded and the thoracic cage a bit collapsed from their resting positions respectively. Because of these opposing forces, layers of pleura also tend to move to opposite sides, parietal pleura with thoracic cage and visceral pleura with lungs. This creates a negative pressure inside the pleural cavity of -5 cm H2O.
How inspiration occurs ?
Since lungs are housed inside the thoracic cage which is a closed cavity, any changes which occur in the volume and pressure of the thoracic cage are communicated to the lungs. The expansionn of thoracic cage is provided by the contraction of the skeletal muscles which line the thoracic cage. For quiet inspiration, these muscles are diaphragm, and external intercostal muscles. With increase in thoracic cage volume, intrapleural pressure decreases upto -8 cm H2O. This causes a pull on the lungs, thus increasing the volume of the lungs and hence decreasing the alveolar pressure. During tidal inspiration in healthy people, the decrease in alveolar pressure is up to -1 cm of H2O. Due to the pressure difference generated between atmosphere and the alveoli, air moves into the alveoli until the alveolar pressure becomes equal to atmospheric pressure. With this much pressure difference, approximately 500 ml of air moves into the alveoli in healthy people.
How tidal expiration occurs ?
For tidal expiration, The changes in thoracic cavity and lung volume caused during tidal inspiration are simply reversed. So the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles relax during expiration. All the events reverse i.e decrease in thoracic cage volume, then increase in pleural pressure to the resting posting i.e -5 cm H2O, causing decrease in lung volume. This brings the thoracic cage and the lungs to their equilibrium position. With the increased volume of air inside the lungs from inspiration, the pressure does not become zero despite the breathing apparatus coming back to its equilibrium position. Instead it increases to +1 cm H2O. This causes the exhalation of the same amount of air which entered the lungs during inspiration, at the end of which the alveolar and the atmospheric pressures again become equal. . So basically tidal expiration is a passive process brought about by relaxation of inspiratory muscles.

Why the heck is this beautiful channel so underrated. I wish this channel gets more subscribers and views, because you genuinely deserve it. You are a great teacher ma'am🙏
Thank you Alka…I feel so glad with your wishes…just hope I reach more students with my efforts😊
i learned more in this video than 5 hours of my actual class. THANK YOU.
I am so glad that the video helped...Keep learning
Med student from the carribean here, thanks for the lesson!!! Really helped!!
So so glad. Welcome
So so glad. Welcome
Thankyou so much ma'am , your videos are literally blessings for us ... Thankgod for making me come across your channel
So nice of you...do recommend to others as well
Ma'am you're lectures are a blessing. thank you so much.
I am so happy. You made my day
Grt teaching, easy way ,beautiful methodology ,perfect content ,time saving lectures , tnx
You just brought out all the great points…I should add them in my about section
I was searching for this type of explanation from tomorrow night and i found your now💖💖💖💖
Hmm...this also tells how difficult is to find my videos😅. Anyways glad it helped
Marvelous explanation mam
Thanks 🙏🏻
Thanks for liking
Thanks mam great explanation.very concise and informative
Glad you liked it 😊
Great explanation...
Keep posting more videos if possible...🙂
Yes I do
Thanks a lot maam ☺️☺️
Most welcome 😊
You safe my life
Thanks. Keep learning
Thank y ma'am
Welcome
Thanks a ton ma'am
Most welcome
Nice👍
Thanks
thank you
Welcome
Madam, can you please explain the concept of equal pressure points and dynamic airway compression.
Can you please include this in any of your upcoming lectures.
Thank you.
Will try
Mam please make video on limbic system 🥺
Mam please make video on lambic system 🥺
3:42mam of u could explain mechanism how negative intra pleural pressure is caused ..
If there is a space which is lined by two walls..and the walls tend to move away from each other..both will try to pull the space to themselves..creating negative pressure inside the space. Same thing is happening in pleura...chest wall and lungs tend to pull in opposite direction..
Ma'am,why do the lungs have natural tendency to collapse and also why does the chest wall has the natural tendency to expand?
Every tissue or any substance for that matter has a natural tendency to be of a particular shape and size...it depends on the substance which form the core component of that structure...in case of lungs , presence of elastin keeps it in collapsed position...similarly for thoracic cage ...it’s composition accounts for it...I have explained it using springs...you also might have seen springs...which when left alone attain a particular length
@@PhysiologyOpen Thank you a ton,Ma'am!!😊
in which lecture can I get dead space & fowlers method ?
Not made yet
🙌🏻
😊
If the intra plural pressure changes from -5 to -8cm H20 during inspiration approximately 500ml of volume will enter the lungs(tidal volume).
So if the person has open chest cavity ,so that the pleural pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure ,then how much change in pleural pressure, will be there to achieve some tidal volume during inspiration
If it’s an open chest cavity, there can’t be any change in pleural pressure...
Mam, Why the chest wall natural tendency is to expand unlike lungs which has elastic connective tissue which explains why lungs has tendency to collapse ? which component of chest wall makes its natural tendency to expand to expand?
If left alone, chest wall natural position is expanded compared to when it is with the lungs in body (lungs recoil tendency pulls it inwards)…so chest wall natural tendency is to go back to its natural state
Thanks mam
pl. check video quality, words are not clear & whatever you are showing with your hand movement too. explaintation is good
Ok thanks 😊
How it is possible that during exhalation the thoracic volume decreases only to the resting volume ...i think it should be less than it...therefore the intrapulmonary pressure will become 761 mmhg ..please suggest your views
In tidal expiration - volume exhaled is equal to volume inhaled
Due to more volume in alveoli (due to inspiration) when alveolar size decrease during expiration - intraalveolar pressure increases
