visceral, which pull the lungs.

Exhalation: Diagphragm/intercostals relax, thoracic cage contracts, pressure in cav- ity rises, air

is expelled. Normally passive. No energy required. Exhaled air contains 16% o2.

voluntarily. Esophagus and great vessels pass through the diaphragm. Dome shaped until

contraction during inhalation; moves down and expands the size of the thoracic cavity.
