The mechanics of breathing describe the physical forces that move air in and out of the lungs — the interplay of pressures, compliance, surface tension, and resistance. This is a perennial NEET PG favourite because a handful of curves (compliance, pressure-volume loop) and one equation (Laplace) unlock most questions. Air flows down a pressure gradient. Four pressures must be kept straight: | Pressure | Definitio
