Answer: Excessive movements of the walls of the abdomen
Basically babies belly breathe, that is they undergo abdominal pattern of respiration( instead of the abdomino- thoracic pattern in adult), through their abdomen.
<u>This is because, their thoracic walls are not fully functional to undergo the normal adult mechanisms of breathing</u>.
<u>The ribs are short in length due to incomplete ossification. They curve out wards, at low angle, their sternum, is shaped horizontally.</u>
These features reduce the activities of the inter coastal muscles and the thoracic cage in the mechanism of infants breathing,compare to the long ribs, obliquely shaped rib cage, with lower sternum of adult which permit the abdominal-thoracic breathing pattern.
Therefore ,when the diaphragm distends during breathing ,its movement pushes the organs of the abdomen down; because infants have rapid respiratory rates, the distends created rapid expansion and contraction of the walls of the abdomen to gain enough abdominal pressure.
This together with the movement of organs of the abdomen from the pathways of diaphragm created the excessive movements of the abdominal walls. This rapid abdominal wall movements creates discomfort and distress for the infant during this mechanisms.
Explanation:
Fresh water is any body of water with a low salt concentration. Organisms in fresh water various challenges which includes; Osmotic concentration such that fresh water is permanently dilute and most cells cannot function at this concentration of ions. Varying temperatures, variation in oxygen levels and reproduction and life cycle due to permanence of habitat and physiological difficulty of regulating osmotic concentration in larvae and juveniles.
Answer:
The respiratory centers that control your rate of breathing are in the brainstem or medulla. The nerve cells that live within these centers automatically send signals to the diaphragm and intercostal muscles to contract and relax at regular intervals.
