Mechanics of respiration, diagram
Mechanics of respiration. Cutaway diagrams showing the mechanics of breathing in (left) and breathing out (right). Arrows show: the movement of air in and out of the nose, mouth and trachea; the expansion and contraction of the rib cage and the abdomen; and the contraction and relaxation of the diaphragm (the sheet of muscle between the chest and the abdomen)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library delves into the intricate mechanics of respiration. The cutaway diagrams on display provide a comprehensive understanding of both inhalation and exhalation processes. On the left, arrows depict the movement of air as it enters through the nose, mouth, and trachea while showcasing the expansion and contraction of the rib cage and abdomen. Simultaneously, they illustrate how the diaphragm contracts and relaxes to facilitate breathing between the chest and abdomen. The artwork beautifully captures this essential physiological function that keeps us alive. It showcases a healthy human anatomy with attention to detail in every muscle involved in respiration. From contracted muscles during inhalation to relaxed ones during exhalation, this diagram provides an anatomical insight into our respiratory system. With its cross-section view of the human body, this illustration offers a glimpse into biomechanics at play within our lungs. It highlights not only biological aspects but also emphasizes their mechanical nature. Whether you are studying biology or simply fascinated by how we breathe, this art piece is sure to captivate your attention. Its educational value lies in unraveling one of life's most fundamental processes – respiration – making it an invaluable addition for anyone seeking knowledge about our incredible human bodies.
