Where in the body would you find the diaphragam?

The diaphragm is the muscle below the lungs, and above the stomach, responsible for breathing. The diaphragm works by pulling tighter, thus decreasing the pressure in the lungs, pulling air in through the trachea. To exhale, the diaphragm relaxes, and chest muscles contract, pushing the air back out.


What is the function of the diaphragm when you breath?

The diaphragm contracts when you inhale, making the space in your ribcage (thoracic cavity) more spacious and drop in pressure. Air is therefor "sucked" in due to this pressure difference. When you exhale, the diaphragm relaxes, pushing air back out. Without the diaphragm, it would be difficult to "grasp" air and pull it into your lungs.

No. It is cruel and unnecessary. Absolutely not! That would be cruel and selfish, not to mention incredibly painful for the hamster.

Doing this can also cause one who does this to be arrested and charged with animal cruelty, which is exactly what they would deserve.
