Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When we breathe, the diaphragm goes up and pushes ____ out of our lungs.
A
oxygen
B
carbon dioxide
C
gas
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lungs and respiratory system allow oxygen in the air to be taken into the body, while also letting the body get rid of carbon dioxide in the air breathed out. When you breathe in, the diaphragm moves downward toward the abdomen, and the rib muscles pull the ribs upward and outward.

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: -When you inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. This creates more space in your chest cavity, allowing the lungs to expand. When you exhale, the opposite happens-your diaphragm relaxes and moves upward in the chest cavity.
