Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When we breath in the diaphragm ____
A
Contracts
B
Relaxes
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The phrenic nerve controls your diaphragm (the large dome-shaped muscle between your abdominal and chest cavities). It’s essential to breathing. Your nerve sends signals that cause your diaphragm to contract (become thicker and flatter). This movement gives your lungs room to expand and take in air (inhalation).

Detailed explanation-3: -When you breathe out (exhalation), the diaphragm moves up and the chest wall muscles relax, causing the chest cavity to get smaller and push air out of the respiratory system through the nose or mouth.

Detailed explanation-4: -(DY-uh-fram) The thin muscle below the lungs and heart that separates the chest from the abdomen.
