Detailed explanation-1: -Upon inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and flattens and the chest cavity enlarges. This contraction creates a vacuum, which pulls air into the lungs. Upon exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes and returns to its domelike shape, and air is forced out of the lungs.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-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.
