- What Causes Air to Flow Into the Lungs? (2025) - Respiratory Therapy Zone
Pulmonary ventilation is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs to facilitate gas exchange It is driven by a pressure gradient—the difference between atmospheric pressure (air outside the body) and intra-alveolar pressure (pressure within the lungs)
- 22. 3 The Process of Breathing – Anatomy Physiology 2e
Inspiration is the process that causes air to enter the lungs, and expiration is the process that causes air to leave the lungs (Figure 22 3 3) A respiratory cycle is one sequence of inspiration and expiration

Convection, or mass flow, is responsible for movement of air from the environment into the lungs and for movement of blood between the lungs and the tissues Respiratory gases also move by diffusion across tissue barriers such as membranes
- Movement of Air In and Out of the Lungs and the Pressures That Cause . . .
Movement of Air In and Out of the Lungs and the Pressures That Cause the Movement The lung is an elastic structure that collapses like a balloon and expels all its air through the trachea when-ever there is no force to keep it inflated
- 13. 4 Pulmonary Ventilation (Breathing) – General Anatomy Physiology
Pulmonary ventilation is the act of breathing It consists of inhalation (also called inspiration), which is the movement of air into the lungs, and exhalation (also called expiration) or movement of air out of the lungs
- Mechanics of Breathing - Expiration - TeachMePhysiology
The processes of inspiration (breathing in) and expiration (breathing out) are vital for providing oxygen to tissues and removing carbon dioxide from the body Inspiration occurs via active contraction of muscles – such as the diaphragm – whereas expiration tends to be passive, unless it is forced
- Mechanics of Breathing | Ventilation | Geeky Medics
This decrease in intra-thoracic volume causes an increase in intra-alveolar pressure, forcing air to move out of the lungs and into the atmosphere along a negative pressure gradient
- 20. 4: The Processes of the Respiratory System - Medicine LibreTexts
Pulmonary ventilation consists of the process of inspiration (or inhalation), where air enters the lungs, and expiration (or exhalation), where air leaves the lungs
