The diaphragm is the primary muscle involved with breathing. When you want to take a breath in (inhale) you contract your diaphragm. This makes the thoracic cavity larger, decreasing the pressure in the thoracic cavity and generating a vacuum. Air is drawn into the lungs because of the creation of this intra-thoracic vacuum. When you relax your diaphragm the elasticity of your lungs will force air back out (exhalation).

What muscle helps with food digestion and breathing?
Previous answer: "involuntary muscles"This answer is not accurate. While breathing muscles do act involuntarily, they can also be activated voluntarily. The two primary muscles responsible for breathing are the diaphragm and the tranversus abdominus. The diaphragm is the primary muscle for inhalation, if you're breathing correctly. The transverse is the primary muscle for forced exhalation.Since both muscle, when contracting, move inward into the abdominal cavity, where your organs of digestion are, they move the internal organs, essentially creating an internal massage mechanism for the large and small intestines, which helps keep smooth motion going in the involuntary pyloric (intestinal) muscles.
Which system contains the diaphragm?
