What's the difference between expiration and expiratory?

Expiration


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of expiring
  • (n.) The act or process of breathing out, or forcing air from the lungs through the nose or mouth; as, respiration consists of inspiration and expiration; -- opposed to inspiration.

  • (n.) The last emission of breath; death.
  • (n.) A coming to a close; cessation; extinction; termination; end.
  • (n.) That which is expired; matter breathed forth; that which is produced by breathing out, as a sound.

Expiratory


Definition:

  • (a.) Pertaining to, or employed in, the expiration or emission of air from the lungs; as, the expiratory muscles.
