During inspiration the ribs move upwards and outwards and the diaphragm contracts ,thus,increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity.this leads to a decrease in pressure inside the lung.therefore the air from outside rushes in .

During expiration the ribs move inwards and downwards and the diaphragm relaxes thus,creating low pressure .this leads to the expulsion of air from our body.
