dome-shaped «sheet», which closes the lower part of the thorax and
separates it from the abdomen. The diaphragm contracts and flattens; it
contributes in this way to the extension of the vertical diameter of the
thoracic cavity and raises the ribs (abdominal respiration). At the time of
expiration, the thorax returns to its initial
/
position, and air is expelled through the same tracts that had been used
by fresh air during inspiration.
In an individual at rest the number of inspirations per minute is 10 to
15; the pulmonary ventilation, or the volume of air which passes through
the respiratory system each minute, is about 6 litres per minute. During
intense muscular activity the inspiration rate may rise to 50 and the
ventilation to 150 litres or more per minute.
