Not exactly. Your intercostal muscles are the muscles that contract and they're found inbetween in each rib in the rib cage. When this contracts, as well as the diapragm, the lungs will have less air pressure inside them, making you breathe in.
Hope this helped? :)
true
Yes.
it helps you muscles to contract and expand when you inhale and exhale.
When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand.The intercostal muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

the diaphragm, chest muscles, ribs and the sternum.
when you breathe in the intercostal muscles and the diaphragm contract lifting the ribs up.

You exhale, when you inhale, the muscles in the ribs pull the lungs up
When you inhale your diaphragm contracts and moves down allowing some extra space. The muscles between your ribs also contract forcing them out also allowing more space. So there is more wiggle room for the lungs when you inhale.
Yes in a sense, as you inhale the diaphragm becomes full of air and it expands, the rib cage houses the diaphragm.
