Abdominal pumping in the trachea reduces volume, increases pressure, and maintains larger diffusion gradients, thereby increasing the speed of gas movement and the rate of diffusion.
Le battute d'arresto addominali nella trachae riducono il volume, aumentano la pressione e mantengono più ampi gradienti di diffusione, aumentando così la velocità di movimento dei gas e il tasso di diffusione.

| Back | - muscles contract - reduces volume - increases pressure - increases speed of movement of gases - maintains larger diffusion gradients - increases rate of diffusion |
