MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -When the lungs inhale, the diaphragm contracts and pulls downward. At the same time, the muscles between the ribs contract and pull upward. This increases the size of the thoracic cavity and decreases the pressure inside. As a result, air rushes in and fills the lungs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Breathing in When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

Detailed explanation-3: -During inhalation, the ribs move up and outward and the diaphragm moves in. this movement decrease the space in our chest cavity and the air rushes in. During exhalation, the ribs moves down and inward and the diaphragm moves up. This movement increases the space in our chest cavity and the air is pushed out.

Detailed explanation-4: -During inhalation, the ribs create more space for the lungs by moving outwards and upwards. The diaphragm also moves downwards and flattens. This increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand and the pressure becomes low and the air from the atmosphere moves in.

Detailed explanation-5: -Final answer: During exhalation, the ribs move downwards.
