S. H. Loring and J. Mead
Displacements of the rib cage are determined by the intrinsic passive properties of the rib cage, rib cage musculature, pleural and abdominal pressures, and the diaphragm. The diaphragm's mechanical actions on the rib cage are inferred from a force-balance analysis in which the diaphragm is seen to cause expansion of the rib cage by pulling cephalad at its insertions on the lower ribs (insertional component) and by raising intra-abdominal pressure, which pushes outward on the diaphragm's zone of apposition to the rib cage (appositional component). Goldman and Mead suggested that the diaphragm, acting alone, could drive both the rib cage and abdomen on their passive characteristics. The force-balance analysis shows that the diaphragm's inspiratory action on the rib cage is less than predicted by Goldman and Mead, but that in the special circumstances of their experiment (low lung volumes), the appositional component is large and the rib cage can be driven close to its passive characteristics. The force-balance analysis is consistent with recent observations by other investigations and is incompatible with the model proposed by Macklem and colleagues and with the Goldman-Mead hypothesis. Experiments on three subjects produced data consistent with the force-balance analysis, showing that the inspiratory action of the diaphragm on the rib cage is greatest at low lung volumes.
