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: -This makes the chest cavity bigger and pulls air through the nose or mouth into the lungs. 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-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 breathe in, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and flattens, moving down towards your abdomen. This movement creates a vacuum in your chest, allowing your chest to expand (get bigger) and pull in air. When you breathe out, your diaphragm relaxes and curves back up as your lungs push the air out.
