Diaphragm.
contracts means to come together or to close. Try breathing. Does your diaphragm get smaller when you inhale or exhale? ********************************************************** Hint: it contracts when you inhale..
Yes.
When you breathe in, your diaphragm contracts. This makes the diaphragm move lower and increases the area in your lungs.
When the Diaphragm contracts, it is pulled down, and is pulled back up when it relaxes.Also, when you inhale, it contracts. When you exhale, it relaxes.
It contracts (and moves downward).
A hiccup is the movement of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is in the thoracic cavity just under the lungs. This organ helps to squeeze the lungs when you exhale in order to get all the air out of the lungs. Holding your breath causes the diaphragm to move downward and stop this movement.

When breathing in, or inhaling, the diaphragm contracts, or tightens. When exhaling, or breathing out, the diaphragm expands, or loosens.
