Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When we breathe out, our diaphragm becomes
A
relaxed and dome shaped
B
contracted and flattened
C
relaxed and flattened
D
dome shaped and contracted
Explanation: 

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 breathe out, or exhale, your diaphragm and rib muscles relax, reducing the space in the chest cavity. As the chest cavity gets smaller, your lungs deflate, similar to how air releases from a balloon.

Detailed explanation-3: -diaphragm, dome-shaped, muscular and membranous structure that separates the thoracic (chest) and abdominal cavities in mammals; it is the principal muscle of respiration.
