Describe the function of your diaphragm and explain how inhaling and exhaling occurs?

Breathing is done by your diaphragm. When you breathe in, your diaphragm tightens (contracts) and moves downward so your lungs can expand. When you breathe out (exhale) your diaphragm relaxes (expands) and moves up into your chest.


How can you regulate the diaphragm?

You can regulate the diaphragm through conscious breathing techniques. Deep diaphragmatic breathing involves inhaling deeply through the nose, allowing the abdomen to expand, and then exhaling slowly through the mouth. Practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques, such as meditation or yoga, can also help enhance awareness and control of diaphragmatic movement. Regular practice can strengthen the diaphragm and improve overall respiratory efficiency.
