The action of diaphragm in

the breathing mechanism

Aim

 To study the action of the

breathing mechanism.
Material
Procedure
3a3(2006)

 THE BALLOON EXPANDS

WHEN THE RUBBER SHEET
IS PULLED DOWNWARDS.
 THE BALLOON CONTRACTS
WHEN THE RUBBER SHEET
IS PUSHED UPWARDS.
3a6(2006)

The balon expand when the

rubber sheet pull down
The balloon contract when the
rubber sheet push up
 The size of lungps depend on the air
pressure inside the lung.for example
the lungs expand when diapragm
contract because air pressure inside
the lung is lowered
 When the rubber sheet pull down the
pressure in the air space of the balon
become bigger
 If we inhale, our lung will expand, if
we exhale , our lung will contrat

 The baloon become bigger

when the rubber sheet are
pulled
 When the rubber sheet is
release the balloon contract .
3b3(2006)

 When we pull the rubber

sheet,the balloon expand
 When we flat the rubber sheet
the balloon contract
3a4(2006)

 When the rubber sheet is pulled,

the balloon inside the bell jar is
expand.
 When the rubber sheet is
pushed, the balloon is contract

3A3(2006)

 If we inhale,the lung expand.

 When we exhale,the lung contracts
 When we inhale,the lung expand and
the diaphragm flattens.
 Lungs expand when air is drawn into
lungs.
 Lungs contract when air is forced out
of lungs.
Observation

 When the handle is pulled down,

the balloon expends.
 When the handle is released
from the hand, the balloon
contracts
Analysis

 Rubber sheet : Diaphragm

 Bell jar : thoracic
 cavity
 Glass tube : Trachea
 Y – shaped tube : Bronchus
 Balloon : Lung
Conclusion

 Inhalation takes place when the

diaphragm is flat.
 Exhalation takes place when the
diaphragm curves.
