There are a number of places in the body where the pressures are lower than atmospheric, or negative. For example,
1- When we breathe in (inspire) the pressure in the lungs must be lower than atmospheric pressure. The lung pressure during inspiration is a few centimeters of water negative.
Pleural pressure is always negative compared to atmospheric pressure. It does drop during inhalation, and returns to its prior state when you exhale. If you exhale forcefully, it might go a bit higher than otherwise, but stays negative anyway.

Does negative pressure breathing involve pushing or forcing air into the lungs?
no
What is chest cuirass?
It is a negative pressure shell that fits the upper body. It is used to provide negative pressure to patients which provides a pressure gradient to move air into and out of the lungs.
When donning protective mask expel the air from your lungs before performing which step?
Perform negative pressure check.
When donning your protective mask expel the air from your lungs before performing which step action?
perform negative pressure check
When donning the protective masks expell the air from your lungs before?
Perform negative pressure check.
When Air moves out of the lungs the pressure inside the lungs is?
when air moves out of the lungs, the air pressure decreases
When donning the protective mask expel the air from your lungs before performing which?
Perform negative pressure check.
When donning the protective mask expel the air from your lungs before what step?
perform negative pressure check
When donning the protective mask expel the air from your lungs before performing?
Perform negative pressure check.
What is Intrapulmonary pressure?
Intrapulmonary pressure is the pressure within the alveoli (air sacs) of the lungs. It fluctuates during the breathing cycle: it becomes negative during inhalation to help draw air into the lungs and positive during exhalation to expel air.
What two factors prevent the lungs from collapsing?
surfactant- the substance that your lungs produces. Also continuous pressure from the air in there.
When my diaphragm contracts and moves downward?
When your diaphragm contracts and moves downward, it increases the volume of the chest cavity, causing a decrease in air pressure in the lungs. This negative pressure then allows air to be drawn into the lungs through the airways.
