When you inhale does pressure decrease inside or increase?
The act of inhaling is to create low pressure in the lungs, causing the air in the atmosphere to rush in as it is moving from a higher pressure (outside in the atmosphere) to the lower pressure (created in the lungs). However the fact that air does move into the lungs means that there is no net change in pressure.

What happens to lungs when you inhale?
what happens when you inhale is that air goes into your lungs and your lungs get bigger ...Actually, your diaphragm moves to expand the volume of your thoracic cavity, which pulls a partial vacuum on your lungs, causing them to expand FIRST...and THEN the partial vacuum created by your expanded lungs causes air to move into them. When you breath out, it causes the reverse to occur.
What happen to your lunges when you exhale?
