Yeah! Railroad tracks are made with spaces in between them so when it gets hot it won't buckle up and ruin the track when it expands. When it cools down, it contracts

When the intercostal muscles contract or relax the volume of chest expand or recoil the the volume of lungs expands or recoil. why?

When the intercostal muscles contract, they elevate the ribs and expand the thoracic cavity, leading to a decrease in pressure within the lungs, which causes air to flow in and the lung volume to expand. Conversely, when these muscles relax, the ribs lower, reducing the thoracic cavity's volume and increasing pressure in the lungs, which forces air out and causes the lung volume to recoil. This interplay of muscle contraction and relaxation is essential for effective breathing.

What is the elastic recoil of the aorta on a graph?

If you see the cardiac cycle and you see the dichrotic notch, and there is a slight elevation of the aortic pressure after this notch, that's because of the pressure exerted by the elastic recoil of the aorta. Just imagine a bigger hill, followed by a smaller hill and the indentation between these two hills is the dichrotic notch and the hill after this notch is the graphic representation of the elastic recoil of the aorta. Hope this helps.
