This is the process of respiration. It involves bringing in air from outside the body into the lungs. When we breathe in, the size of our chest increases.This happens because when air enters, the lungs expand and the ribs move outwards. Simultaneously, the diaphragm contracts and becomes flat. Thus, the size of our chest increases.

What happens during inhalation phase of breathing?
Pressure within the thorax decreases and air is drawn into the lungs
How do the ribs and diaphragm move to aide inspiration?
Respiration is a process which involves taking in of oxygen through inhalation to supply to the tissues and release of carbon di oxide through exhalation from tissues to the atmosphere. During inhalation the rib cabe expands by moving out. The diaphragm moves down. These two process occur simultaneously to increase the air holding capacity of the lungs by expanding the alveolar cells of lungs.

Movement of the diaphragm during inhalation?
During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts flattening out its usual dome shaped appearance. This has the effect of lengthening the lungs and increasing the intrapulmonary volume. When the volume increases, the pressure drops and air flows into the lungs.
Oxygen enters the lungs during what?
Inhalation.
The diaphragm contracts during what phase of respiration?
inhalation
Which sound occurs during breathing as the results of a partially obstructed airway?
The sound is called a stridor (high pitched wheezing). See related link. The answer is rhonchus or rhonchi, which is loud rumbling sounds heard on auscultation (during inhalation) of bronchi obstructed by sputum.
