How does breathing?

You don't only "breath in air, and breath out air," You breath in Oxygen and let out Carbon Dioxide. Passes to the diaphragm and the lungs, inhale oxygen, it goes through your body, exhale Carbon Dioxide, From which the body has made when inhaled.


Does the diaphragm help with the removal of carbon dioxide in the respiratory system?

The respiratory system uses diffusion and the diaphragm to bring oxygen into the lungs and push carbon dioxide out of the lungs. When you breath in your diaphragm expands into a dome shape creating an area of decompression and the air is forced into your lungs filling the empty space. When breating out it is the opposite the diaphragm flattens and pushes the air out of the lungs. THe air mainly consists of carbon dioxide
