Sentence examples for expanding chest from inspiring English sources
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the expanding chest wall on pleural pressure during PEEP inflation by building a model with an elastic recoiling lung and an expanding chest wall complex.
The contra-directional forces of the recoiling lung and the expanding chest wall were obtained by evacuating the pleural space to a negative pressure of 5 cmH2O.
The expanding chest wall has a fundamental physiological role in counteracting the recoil of the lung at end-expiration, i.e., functional residual capacity (FRC).
To study this, a respiratory system model based on Newtonian laws of mechanics [12], with an elastic recoiling lung, an expanding chest wall, and a "pleural" space in between, was designed and studied during tidal and PEEP inflation.
The contra-directional forces of the recoiling lung and the expanding chest wall were obtained by evacuating the pleural space through suctioning to a pressure of −5 cmH2O, which caused a higher water level in the plastic container than in the abdominal sack.
We have constructed a model of the respiratory system with a recoiling lung and an expanding chest wall, where tidal airway (total respiratory system) pressure/volume curves are seemingly left-shifted when increasing PEEP in accordance with what is seen in patients [21, 22, 24, 25, 27].
Imagined "with longer arms and a greatly expanded chest and upper body", the Trinil creature became a gigantic ape of about 100 kg, but "double cephalization of the anthropoid apes in general and half that of man".
Air is drawn into the lungs when the diaphragm (the muscular portion between the abdomen and the chest) and the intercostal muscles contract, expanding the chest cavity and lowering the pressure between the lungs and chest wall as well as within the lungs.
Reptiles are unable to use their skin for respiration as do amphibians and have a more efficient respiratory system drawing air into their lungs by expanding their chest walls.
