How the model is used in teaching
Breathing involves two sets of movements working together. During inhalation the diaphragm contracts and flattens while the external intercostal muscles lift the ribs up and out, so the chest cavity enlarges and air flows in. During exhalation the diaphragm relaxes and rises and the ribs fall back, so the chest cavity shrinks and air flows out.
A static model can only describe this; the functional model shows it. Because it is powered, the rib cage and diaphragm keep moving, leaving the teacher free to point out each change while the class watches the cycle repeat at life size.
- Connect the model to a suitable power supply and switch it on.
- Watch the rib cage rise and the diaphragm descend during inhalation.
- Watch both return during exhalation.
- Relate the movements to changes in chest volume and air pressure.
