ulcers
isotonic exercises
muscle shortening and active movement
isometric exercises
muscle contraction without shortening
isokinetic exercises
muscle contraction with resistance
inspiration
the active phase of ventilation
involves movement of muscles and thorax to bring air into lungs
expiration
the passive phase of ventilation
movement of air out of the lungs
the diaphragm does what
contracts and descends, lengthening the thoracic cavity
transport of respiratory gases
oxygen is carried in the body via plasma and red blood cells
kyphosis
contributes to appearance of leaning forward
barrel chest deformity
may result in increased anteroposterior diameter
