1. What happens to the balloon inside the bottle when the bottom of the balloon is stretched? The balloon inflates 2. What happens to the balloon inside the bottle when the bottom of the balloon is stretched after the bottle has been punctured? 3. What component of the respiratory system does the balloon inside the bottle represent? 4. What component of the respiratory system does the balloon at the bottom of the bottle represent? 5. What component of the respiratory system does the bottle represent? 6. What explains any difference in the response after puncturing a hole in the bottle? How does this relate to human respiratory system function?

Step 1
The balloon inflates. This is because stretching the bottom of the balloon creates a negative pressure inside the bottle, causing air to be drawn into the balloon, inflating it. Show more…

Understanding Lung Mechanics – Post Lab Questions 1. When you squeezed the bottle, you were compressing the thoracic cavity model, much as you would for the Heimlich maneuver. a. When compressed, what happens to the volume of the thoracic cavity (bottle)? b. When compressed, what happens to the pressure inside the thoracic cavity (bottle)? c. When the thoracic cavity (bottle) was compressed, did the balloon expand or was it compressed? d. Fill in these blanks: During the Heimlich maneuver, the volume of the thoracic cavity is greatly ___________________, thereby creating the ______________ needed to expel the obstruction. 2. When you released the bottle volume of the thoracic cavity (bottle) increased. a. What happened to the pressure inside the thoracic cavity (bottle)? b. What happened to the balloon? c. When you breathe, does air flow into or out of the lungs when intrapulmonary pressure falls below atmospheric pressure? d. Did you simulate inhalation or exhalation in this step of the experiment?
