This model, excellent for demonstrating the mechanical process of human breathing, is designed for convenient use in physiology lessons at secondary schools, colleges, and universities.
Structure:
The human breathing mechanics model consists of a mechanical case, ribs, intercostal muscles, a breastbone, a diapl1ragm, a windpipe, bronchi, Bronchioles, lungs, a mechanical unit, and asynchronous electronic
Operating Instruction:
The process of demonstration:
- Inspiration: It is brought about by the chest expanding.
- The ribs swing outwards and upwards. This is brought about by the contraction of the intercostal muscles.
- The diaphragm moves downwards so that instead of being Dome-shaped, it becomes flattened.
All these movements result in an increase in the volume of the thorax.
This creates a negative pressure-a suction force-inside the thorax.
- The light in the lungs and the windpipe becomes brighter. That shows the walls of the lungs are pulled outwards and the air is drawn into them.
- Expiration: It is brought about by the reverse process.
- The ribs swing downwards and inwards, the breastbone moves back slightly.
- The diaphragm bows upwards. The volume of the thorax decreases And this creates positive pressure inside it.
- The light in the lungs and the windpipe becomes dim. That shows air is forced out of the lungs.
