Structures Named Correct Breathing Diaphragm Intercostal Muscles Contract

Front Describe the gross structure of the human gas exchange system and how we breathe in and out. [6 marks]
Back 1. Named structures – trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli;

2. Above structures named in correct order

OR

Above structures labelled in correct positions on a diagram;

3. Breathing in – diaphragm contracts and external intercostal muscles contract;

4. (Causes) volume increase and pressure decrease in thoracic cavity (to below atmospheric, resulting in air moving in);

5. Breathing out - Diaphragm relaxes and internal intercostal muscles contract;

6. (Causes) volume decrease and pressure increase in thoracic cavity (to above atmospheric, resulting in air moving out);
