Inspiration
-
-
-
Forced inhalation
Scalenes muscles, sternocleidomastoid and pectoralis minor
-
Expiration
-
Elastic recoil of stretched elastic fibers of lungs, decrease in lung volume and increase in pressure, forcing air out of the lungs
-
Respiratory Tracts

Function
-

Paranasal Sinuses
Cavities within bones
