What is the process by which inhalation occurs during breathing in human beings?

This is the process of respiration. It involves bringing in air from outside the body into the lungs. When we breathe in, the size of our chest increases.This happens because when air enters, the lungs expand and the ribs move outwards. Simultaneously, the diaphragm contracts and becomes flat. Thus, the size of our chest increases.


How does air move into the lungs during inhalation?

When inhaling, the muscles work together to increase the size of the chest space, lowering the pressure inside the lungs and drawing air in from outside. Exhaling involves relaxation of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, reducing the volume of the chest cavity and this, combined with the lungs' natural elasticity, serves to increase the pressure inside the lungs and move air out.

Is a 30c in bra size bigger or smaller then a 34a?

It is the same overall volume, but a different shape. A 30C will have a narrower chest that protrudes more, while a 34A has a broader chest and protrudes less. When you move down a band size, you move up a cup size to maintain the same overall volume. 34A = 32B = 30C.

What is the process of the respiratory system moves air into and out of the lungs?

Contraction of the diaphragm reduces space in the rib cage and forces gases out of the lungs. As the diaphragm relaxes it increases the cavity size in the chest causing a drop in pressure, the decrease in pressure draws air in through the mouth or nose into the lungs. :)

Where is the heart anatomically relative to the diaphragm?

Enclosed in its own little sac (pericardium), the heart rests on the diaphragm, between the lower borders of the lungs, the middle of your mediastinum (center chest), and in the thoracic region of your spinal cord. Essentially, if you take your right fist, place it between your L breast and your center "breastbone" that would be the approximate size and location of your heart.
