What happens to the movement of the chest when inhaling and exhaling?

Both... your chest expands - pushing your rib-cage out, and your diaphragm pushes downwards - forcing your organs to move outwards slightly.

Are you inhaling or exhaling when the volume of the chest cavity increases?
inhaling
When exhaling what happens?
The diaphragm relaxes and reduces the space in the chest cavity.
How does the diaphragm and rib muscles work together to control inhaling and exhaling?
When you breathe, the actions of your rib muscles and diaphragm expand or contract your chest. As a result, air flows in and out.

How does a diaphragm help during inhaling or exhaling?
it separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. other wise they would e everywhere! please reply to this by saying if it helped and what you thought of it (you can do this by 'improving the answer')
Do you in hale or exhale when the volume of the chest cavity increases?
The air pressure in your chest cavity increases when you are exhaling. For air to leave your lungs, it must be at a higher pressure than the air outside. Your diaphragm pushes up against your chest cavity causing the space in your lungs to get smaller. If the volume decreases, the pressure has to rise. Don't believe me? start exhaling, then close your mouth. Your cheeks will puff out because the pressure inside is greater than the pressure outside.
What happens when you exhaling?
The diaphragm relaxes and reduces the space in the chest cavity.
Describe the function of your diaphragm and explain how inhaling and exhaling occurs?
Breathing is done by your diaphragm. When you breathe in, your diaphragm tightens (contracts) and moves downward so your lungs can expand. When you breathe out (exhale) your diaphragm relaxes (expands) and moves up into your chest.
How does breathing take place?
Breathing is the process of inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. When we inhale, our diaphragm and chest muscles contract, expanding the lungs and creating negative pressure that draws in air. Oxygen from the inhaled air is absorbed into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide is released when we exhale.
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.
Rib muscles and diaphragm contract making the chest cavity?
Increases
What does the bronchus feel like?
A bronchial spasm happens when the airways become narrow making exhaling hard. A bronchial spasm feels like a tight constriction in the chest, and may be painful.
