The lowering of diaphragm and expanding of ribcage create a negative pressure in lungs to draw air into lungs, so-called inspiration. Their breathing is linked to their hopping. During locomotion, the diaphragm move up to push out air of their lungs when their feet leave the ground; and the diaphragm move down to draw air into their…

Abstract Respiration for life and respiration for speech while similar are very different. The two roles of the respiratory use the same structures and muscles yet they have very different outcomes. One results in breathing which is vital to life while the other produces sounds that make communication between two individuals easier. Therefore, the structures and muscles in the respiration for life help to deliver oxygen to the different parts of the body. Along with this, the main function of…

1. Anatomy of the trachea and bronchi. The trachea (Fig.1) is a cartilaginous and membranous tube, extending from the lower part of the larynx, on a level with the sixth cervical vertebra, to the upper border of the fifth thoracic vertebra, where it divides into two main bronchi, one for each lung. The trachea is nearly but not quite cylindrical, being flattened posteriorly; it measures about 11 cm. in length; its diameter, from side to side, is from 2 to 2.5 cm., being always greater in…
