Your diaphragm IS muscle. When we inhale, it is pushed down. When we exhale, it is pulled up.
the diaphragm. It is right above the heart and lungs, and expands and contracts when you breathe in and out. You can almost feel it move down a little, when you release air.
When the diaphragm contracts and moves lower, the chest cavity enlarges, reducing the pressure outside the lungs. To equalize the pressure, air enters the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes and moves back up, the elasticity of the lungs and chest wall pushes air out of the lungs.
The diaphragm is a muscle that moves or pushes up your lung when you exhale and down when you inhale in order to allow more space for oxygen to fill your lung. Also, your chest expands as you breath in and relax as you exhale.
When the Diaphragm contracts, it is pulled down, and is pulled back up when it relaxes.Also, when you inhale, it contracts. When you exhale, it relaxes.
The diaphragm moves down and contracts, flattening itself, when you inhale.
In the human body, the diaphragm separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities. When a person sits in an erect position, the diaphragm moves in an up and down motion, sort iof like an accordion.
Upwards, toward the head.
When you inhale, the diaphragm and chest muscles contract to expand the lungs. This creates a negative pressure inside the lungs, allowing air to rush in through the airways. Oxygen from the inhaled air then diffuses across the alveoli walls into the bloodstream.
No, when the diaphragm moves down, it creates more space in the chest cavity, allowing the lungs to expand and air to be drawn in.
When you inhale, your diaphragm contracts dropping down causing negative pressure in your thoracic cavity(lung area) so that air can circulate through the lungs.
When you inhale, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This movement creates more space in the chest cavity, allowing the lungs to expand and fill with air.
