The Diaphragm.
When the diaphragm contracts, it increases the size of the thoracic cavity (chest), which lowers the air pressure, causing outside air to flow in.
The external intercoastals are also used in breathing. They are the muscles on your ribs, that pull on your rib cage and help to expand the chest cavity.
