Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the diaphragm is fatigued and can no longer assist with breathing, it needs a rest. As a result, the accessory muscles take over, and when they cause negative intrathoracic pressure to occur with inspiration, the abdominal contents tend to be pulled inward and upward. This is known as abdominal paradox because the abdomen is moving in the opposite direction from normal with breathing.
