Simple answer. All your life your lungs inhale and exhale oxygen. This is facilitated by the diaphragm, a muscle just below the lungs. When this muscle moves down a partial vacuum is created allowing the lungs to inflate filling the space created by the moving diaphragm, it then moves up again compressing the lungs and therefore expelling the air in them.
The diaphragm is a strong wall of muscle on the bottom of the chest cavity. As this wall of muscle expands downward, a vacuum is created which pulls air into the lungs. As the diaphragm returns to it's original position, air is pushed out of the lungs.
The purpose of red blood cells is to transport oxygen from your lungs to the other parts of your body, and to take the carbon dioxide created by your body into your lungs, so that they can be expelled.
what happens when you inhale is that air goes into your lungs and your lungs get bigger ...Actually, your diaphragm moves to expand the volume of your thoracic cavity, which pulls a partial vacuum on your lungs, causing them to expand FIRST...and THEN the partial vacuum created by your expanded lungs causes air to move into them. When you breath out, it causes the reverse to occur.
Your lungs. The blood vessels in your lungs take in oxygen from the air and exchange it for carbon dioxide and water (in vapour form). These are exhaled.
Air tends to flow out of the lungs when the internal pressure of the lungs is higher than the atmospheric pressure. This pressure difference is created by the contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles during exhalation, which reduces the volume of the lungs and forces air out.
The lungs are the primary organ affected by emphysema.
