adembewegingen
Adembewegingen, also known as respiratory movements, refer to the physical actions involved in breathing. This process is essential for life, allowing the body to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with the environment. The primary muscles responsible for these movements are the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles.
During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and flattens, moving downward. Simultaneously, the external intercostal muscles contract, lifting
Exhalation is typically a passive process, especially at rest. The diaphragm relaxes and returns to its dome
The rate and depth of adembewegingen are controlled by the respiratory center in the brainstem, which responds
