INTRODUCTION
Anatomy is the identification and description of the structures of living things. It is a branch
of biology and medicine. There are broad classifications of anatomy which includes human
anatomy too. Present essay will lay focus on changes in volume and pressure which can be seen
in Jake’s chest cavity. It describes about changes in rate of gas during physical exercise. It will
also explain about the hormone associated with the glucose. It will also explain the role of
kidney in maintaining the balance of fluid.
MAIN BODY
Changes in volume and pressure
During the time of inhalation and exhalation the chest cavity can see negative pressure that
assists in keeping lung airways open. During the process of inhalation, the lung volume expands
as a result of the contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. It can result up in
expanding of chest cavity (Plantier et.al., (2018). Increase in volume, decreases pressure in body
too and this has been explained in Boyle’s law. If the pressure is reduced down in chest cavity
related to the environment can make cavity pressure less than the atmospheric pressure. In this
procedure, chest wall of Jane will expand out and it will be placed at distant from the lungs. In
exhalation the changes in diaphragm can also be seen, it becomes relaxed and also can be move
higher to the thoracic cavity which can be linked with the environment.
Gas exchange occurring between air
Gas exchange means that oxygen is been delivered from the lungs to the blood stream and
then carbon dioxide can be eliminated from the blood streams to the lungs. This can be seen in
between the alveoli and blood and also it can appear in between capillaries. These are being
located in walls of alveoli (Jaeger, Titus & Blank, (2019). From this it can be said that rate of gas
exchange in Jane’s body can be seen during exercise. During the time of exercise, an
enhancement can be seen in physical activity and also cell muscle can respire more than they do
when the body is in rest. Rate of heart can be seen increasing during the time of exercise. It
means that more oxygen is been absorbed into the blood and also it removes down more amount
of carbon dioxide. When exercising the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood and respiring
tissues increasing.
