Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Inhale!!!!Your lungs are ____ air
A
taking in
B
letting out
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When you inhale (breathe in), air enters your lungs, and oxygen from that air moves to your blood. At the same time, carbon dioxide, a waste gas, moves from your blood to the lungs and is exhaled (breathed out). This process, called gas exchange, is essential to life.

Detailed explanation-2: -To breathe in (inhale), you use the muscles of your rib cage – especially the major muscle, the diaphragm. Your diaphragm tightens and flattens, allowing you to suck air into your lungs. To breathe out (exhale), your diaphragm and rib cage muscles relax. This naturally lets the air out of your lungs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Air is pulled into your nose or mouth, and into your windpipe. This divides into airways supplying the left and right lungs. The air passes down the airways, which divide another 15 to 25 times, and finally into thousands of smaller airways until the air reaches the air sacs.
