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 diaphragm is a muscle crucial for breathing. When the diaphragm contracts, suction is created that draws air into the lungs. Air is exhaled as the diaphragm relaxes, in combination with other muscles and tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -When people breathe in, the diaphragm descends, which decreases the intrathoracic pressure and improves the intra-abdominal pressure. This compresses the blood in the inferior vena cava (IVC) and forces it upward into the right atrium and helps to fill the heart.
