Suction is the force that "draws" or pulls rather than "drive" air into the lungs.
When the diaphragm muscle pulls down, and the ribs expand slightly, the lungs also expand which sucks air into them.

How does air out of your lungs?
air is pushed out of the lungs by the force of the rib cage relaxing
What is the main force for pushing air out of the lungs?
It is mainly the contraction of the rib cage that pushes air out of the lungs.
Is it true that the force that drives air into the lungs comes from air pressure?
True
What force cause air to move in an out of the lungs?
inhale:- the air pressure in the lungs decreases and air moves in. exhale:-air pressure in the lungs increases and air moves out.
How and why air moves into and out of lungs when you inhale and exhale?
When you breathe in, your diaphragm will contract, causing your lungs to expand and suck in air. When you breathe out, your diaphragm will relax, causing your lungs to shrink and force out air.
Which organ of the respiratory system expands and contracts automatically to force air into and out of the lungs?
The diaphragm expands and contracts automatically, forcing air into and out of the lungs.
What organ does the trachea force air into?
The trachea is connected to the lungs. However, the trachea does not FORCE are anywhere, it is a pipe.
Is it true or false the force that drives air into the lungs come from air pressure?
No atmospheric pressure
Why are you weightless in water?
You have another force that balances the force of gravity. Your lungs are full of air, which is less dense than water. When in the water, the lungs cause an up-ward, buoyant force which counter-act the force of gravity.
What muscle works with the lungs and ribs to get air in and waste gases out of the lungs?
The muscle is the "diaphragm" muscle. It is located beneath the lungs. When it moves down and away, it creates lower pressure around the lungs, and the air pressure outside the body flows into the lungs. When it moves up and in, it compresses the lungs, increasing the pressure to force the air back out.
What is the testing diagnosis for emphysema?
Spirometry measures the volume and force of air as it is exhaled from the lungs.
How does a lion breathe?
