What is a hope chest?
A hope chest is something people start before they move out on their own. They accumulate things they think will be useful to them once they leave home such as silverware, dishes, decor ect. By buying them or getting them from other people they are trying to prepare for the future, avoiding having to buy all of their household necessities at one time. They keep them all in a chest or trunk and call it a hope chest.

A data value that is much higher or lower than any other data values in a set?
the data value that is much higher or lower than the other data given is called an outlier
What kind of variable causes the dependent to change?
The independent variable, because it isn't affected by the other factors.
What are the causes of non cardiac chest pain?
Esophageal causes of noncardiac chest pain include gastroesophageal reflux disease, and other abnormalities of the esophagus.
What other muscle move outward to give the lungs more space?
Internal Intercostals (Depress, assist in exhalation) Diaphragm (Prime mover of exhalation) When you breathe out, or exhale, your diaphragm relaxes and moves upward into the chest cavity. The intercostal muscles between the ribs also relax to reduce the space in the chest cavity.
What happens when you exhaling?
The diaphragm relaxes and reduces the space in the chest cavity.
What is the muscle that contracts to let air in and relaxes to push out air?
The primary muscle responsible for air entering the lungs is the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle that lies just below your lungs, internally separating the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity. When you take in a deep breath, your diaphragm (along with other accessory muscles) contracts and flattens while your chest wall expands creating a negative pressure within the thoracic cavity. This allows air to move from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure during inhalation.
What happens when the diaphragm is pulled down (Do you inhale or exhale)?
How should I know? first of all you should know. but since you must be clueless (no offense :/) the correct answer would be yes, your diaphragm does go down when you inhale Ew, the above answer is absolutely obnoxious. Your diaphragm moves down when you inspire air. It does this to help the lungs open up so more air can get in. Your diaphragm is attached to the lung by pleura. Imagine wearing two latex gloves on one hand. If you pinch one of the gloves, say on the back of your hand, and pull the glove up, the second glove will follow. The first glove is what is attached to your diaphragm and the second glove is your lungs. Now if air goes into the second glove (or your lungs) it will fill the space you just made (especially because there is negative pressure in the glove, just like the lungs)
Is the diaphragm a bone?
The lungs are not bones, they are organs of the body.
How do the lungs take in the breathe out air?
you change the shape of your chest (intercostal muscles & diaphram) which increases the volume of your chest cavity the lung is sucked along with the chest wall (partial vacume in the plural space) lowering the pressure within the air spaces of the lung. Air flows from higher pressure to lower.
How does a diaphragm help during inhaling or exhaling?
it separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. other wise they would e everywhere! please reply to this by saying if it helped and what you thought of it (you can do this by 'improving the answer')
What does the diaphran do to the respiratory system?
The diaphragm is a large, flat muscle located just below your lungs. When it dishes downward, it cause air to be sucked into the lungs. When it dishes upward, it pushes air out of the lungs. In other words, the diaphragm causes you to breath.
What is the large of muscle that controls the size of the chest cavity?
The large muscle below the lungs that make them expand and bring in air is called the diaphragm. (dye-uh-fram). During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts, thus enlarging the thoracic cavity (the external intercostal muscles also participate in this enlargement). This reduces intra-thoracic pressure: In other words, enlarging the cavity creates suction that draws air into the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes, air is exhaled by elastic recoil of the lung and the tissues lining the thoracic cavity in conjunction with the abdominal muscles, which act as an antagonist paired with the diaphragm's contraction.During exercise or stress or any other cause of labored breathing, air movement is assisted by scalenes, sternocleidomastoid, intercostal muscles, serratus posterior (inferior and superior), all the abdominal muscles, and maybe levator costorum (we still dont know their exact function).the diaphragm, the internal and external intercostal muscles and other accessory muscles such as sternocleidomastoid and others.
Can pulled muscle cause chest pain when you eat?
Yes. However, there are much more serious causes of chest pain. Chest pain should always be evaluated by a doctor to check for heart disease or other serious medical problems.
What role does the diaphragm play in the respiratory process?
during inhalation the diaphragm contracts chest expand lungs are pulled outwards and alveolar pressures decreases.during exhalation the diaphragm relaxers lungs recoil inward and alveolar pressure increases,forcing air out of the lungs.
