The diaphragm moves down to make the lungs expand (inhalation)
the diaphragm
Air moves into the lungs when the diaphragm is flattened. The diaphragm is relaxed (arched) during expiration.
I think you meant move air into the lungs. The muscle is the diaphragm.
Lungs.
the diaphragm is a muscle located below the lungs. When the muscle tissue of the diaphragm contracts, it moves down, creating a vacuum inside the lungs, and pulling air into them. To breathe out, the diaphragm simply relaxes, springs back up, and the air is expelled. Not all of the air ever comes out of the lungs during an exhale.
The diaphragm, intercostal muscles, and lungs work together to help you breathe. The diaphragm moves down, the intercostal muscles expand the rib cage, and the lungs expand to take in air for oxygenation.
The term for moving muscles in order to make air flow into and out of the lungs is breathing. The main muscle that moves is the diaphragm, which sits just below the lungs and causes air to flow in and out as it contracts and expands.
When you breathe out the diaphragm moves upwards to push the air out of the lungs. When you breathe in the diaphragm moves downwards to draw air into the lungs. When you breathe out your diaphragm contract and moves upwards towards your head. when you breathe in too much your diaphragm explodes
The diaphragm contracts and moves downward during inhalation, increasing the volume of the chest cavity and drawing air into the lungs. The rib muscles, such as the external intercostals, help expand the chest wall outward to create more space for the lungs to fill with air. During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward, while the rib muscles relax and help decrease the volume of the chest cavity, forcing air out of the lungs.

The opposite. When you exhale, the diaphragm moves upward to push the air out of the lungs.
The muscles in your diaphragm contract to push the air out of your lungs.
