Best Answer

Breathing in involves the insertion of O2 in the air into your lungs by contracting the diaphragm, allowing for the oxygen to enter your lungs and later your bloodstream through your heart and circulatory system which spreads the oxygenated blood throughout the remainder of your body. Upon exhale, the diaphragm expands, therefore contracting the lungs and the release of the new Carbon Dioxide, derived from the use of all of the oxygen in your breath earlier.
