Inspiratory

LifeLab Innovations has a number of respiratory products in its development pipeline and Professor McConnell was also the creator of the POWERbreathe® inspiratory muscle trainer. ❋ Thatsnews (2008)

Portable chest X-ray, good inspiratory effort, the lungs are unremarkable with no infiltrates, effusion, or evidence of pneumothorax. ❋ Unknown (2005)

This is the reason why nature has brought the two nostrils together and placed them as the central of the three sense-organs, setting them side by side on a level with each other, to avail themselves of the inspiratory motion. ❋ Unknown (2002)

The two Heymans were thus able to demonstrate that expansion of the lungs stopped the respiratory movements of the head in the expiratory position, which was indicated by the recording of laryngeal and alae nasi movements, while collapse of the lungs immediately induced inspiratory-type respiration in the head. ❋ Unknown (1965)

Free comminution and absolute solution of continuity were also less common than in the fractures accompanying transverse wounds; hence pain from rubbing of the fragments on inspiratory movement or palpation was more common, and crepitus, either on auscultation or palpation, was more often met with. ❋ George Henry Makins (N/A)

For when a solution of continuity occurs in the lungs, the inspiratory and expiratory forces fail. ❋ Henry Ebenezer Handerson (N/A)

Fortunately in all save the rarest possible instances the apnoea yields and a deep inspiratory movement follows. ❋ Hector Charles Cameron (N/A)

When the inspiratory thorax gains space from the abdomen, or when space is demanded for the increasing bulk of the alimentary canal, or for the enlarging pregnant uterus; or when, in consequence of disease, such as dropsical accumulation, more room is wanted, then the abdominal chamber supplies the demand by the anterior bulge or swell of its expansile muscular parietes. ❋ Joseph Maclise (N/A)

The tender salient angle, or, in the absence of this, a highly tender localised spot, often pointed to the less severe injuries, and when the fractures were complete or multiple, pain was a very prominent symptom, both constant and in the form of inspiratory stitch. ❋ George Henry Makins (N/A)

Certain languages, like the South African Hottentot and Bushman, have also a number of inspiratory sounds, pronounced by sucking in the breath at various points of oral contact. ❋ Unknown (1921)

The Serratus posterior inferior draws the lower ribs downward and backward, and thus elongates the thorax; it also fixes the lower ribs, thus assisting the inspiratory action of the diaphragm and resisting the tendency it has to draw the lower ribs upward and forward. ❋ Unknown (1918)

They are concerned especially in prolonged inspiratory efforts; for by rendering the lower part of the cervical fascia tense they lessen the inward suction of the soft parts, which would otherwise compress the great vessels and the apices of the lungs. ❋ Unknown (1918)

—When the Scaleni act from above, they elevate the first and second ribs, and are, therefore, inspiratory muscles. ❋ Unknown (1918)

It is possible that when the shoulders are fixed the lower fibers of the Serratus anterior may assist in raising and everting the ribs; but it is not the important inspiratory muscle it was formerly believed to be. ❋ Unknown (1918)

The Serratus posterior superior elevates the ribs and is therefore an inspiratory muscle. ❋ Unknown (1918)

A convulsive, inspiratory grunt, a bashful, receding, turning away of the head and body, a raising of the hands to cover her face and hide her tears, and hasty, running steps to get away, while murmuring audibly "Let me go away," followed rapidly one upon the other. ❋ Unknown (1916)

-- Such objects as marbles, pebbles, corks, etc., are drawn deeply and with force by the inspiratory blast into the smallest bronchus they can enter. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)

Asymmetry of the inspiratory enlargement of lumen. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
