  2. Muscles of respiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles_of_respiration

    The involvement of these muscles seems to depend on the degree of respiratory effort. During quiet breathing, the scalenes are consistently physically active, while the sternocleidomastoids are quiet. [5] With an increase in the respiratory volume, sternocleidomastoids also become active. [6]

  3. Muscular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_system

    The muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. It permits movement of the body, maintains posture, and circulates blood throughout the body. [ 1 ] The muscular systems in vertebrates are controlled through the nervous system although some muscles (such as the cardiac muscle ) can be completely autonomous.

  4. Skeletal muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_muscle

    Excitation contraction coupling is the process by which a muscular action potential in the muscle fiber causes the myofibrils to contract. This process relies on a direct coupling between the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release channel RYR1 (ryanodine receptor 1), and voltage-gated L-type calcium channels (identified as dihydropyridine ...

    muscular process of arytenoid cartilage: vagus nerve [CNX], recurrent laryngeal nerve: abducts and laterally rotates cartilage, pulling vocal ligaments away from midline and forward and so opening rima glottidis: lateral cricoarytenoid: 2 1 cricoarytenoid, lateral: head, larynx (left/right) lateral part of arch of cricoid cartilage

  6. Organ system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_system

    Plants have two major organs systems. Vascular plants have two distinct organ systems: a shoot system, and a root system. The shoot system consists stems, leaves, and the reproductive parts of the plant (flowers and fruits). The shoot system generally grows above ground, where it absorbs the light needed for photosynthesis. The root system ...

  7. Work of breathing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_of_breathing

    The normal relaxed state of the lung and chest is partially empty. Further exhalation requires muscular work. Inhalation is an active process requiring work. [4] Some of this work is to overcome frictional resistance to flow, and part is used to deform elastic tissues, and is stored as potential energy, which is recovered during the passive process of exhalation, Tidal breathing is breathing ...

    The proposed taxes are in addition to earlier campaign promises to impose a baseline 10% tariff on all U.S. imports and a 60% tariff on goods shipped from China, once he takes office.

  9. Respiration (physiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiration_(physiology)

    Contraction of the diaphragm muscle causes a pressure variation, which is equal to the pressures caused by elastic, resistive and inertial components of the respiratory system. In contrast, exhalation (breathing out) is usually a passive process, though there are many exceptions: when generating functional overpressure (speaking, singing ...
