What happens to the rib cage when inhaling and exhaling?
it expands as we inhale and contrasts as we exhale...this allows our lungs to fill up with air without pushing on out rib cage the rib cage moves up and out when inhaling and moves down and in when exhaling.
What takes place when inhale and exhale?
take place when you inhale and exhale?
How do you inhale and exhaile?
When you inhale your rib muscle and diaphram contract and expand the chest cavitie. When you exhale you rib muscle and diaphram relax, reducing the size of the chest cavitie.
Does the rib cage move up and down when we exhale?
When we exhale, the rib cage moves down and inward as the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward. This action decreases the volume of the thoracic cavity, leading to an increase in pressure that pushes air out of the lungs. So, during exhalation, the rib cage does not move up; rather, it moves down.
What happens to the size of the chest cavity as you inhale?
The movement of the diaphragm affects the size of the chest cavity by when you inhale the chest cavity enlarges, but when you exhale the chest cavity becomes smaller.
How do your muscles below your lungs and between your ribs help you inhale?
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.

What is the breathing line under the lung?
It is called the Diaphragm, which is under the lungs and rib cage. ---- The Diaphragm is what moves the rib cage up and down when you breath in and out.
What happens when the diaphragm moves downward and the rib cage moves up and out?
The opposite. When you exhale, the diaphragm moves upward to push the air out of the lungs.
When the diaphragm moves up do you inhale?
No, as you inhale the diaphragm is contracting and pulling down, expanding the lungs. As you breathe out, the muscle relaxes and rises up again.
What makes the chest cavity larger when you inhale?
When you inhale, the diaphragm muscle contracts and moves downward, and the rib cage expands as the intercostal muscles between the ribs contract. This creates more space in the chest cavity, allowing the lungs to expand and fill with air.
What happens to the diaphragm when you inhale and when you exhale?
When the diaphragm contracts and moves lower, the chest cavity enlarges, reducing the pressure outside the lungs. To equalize the pressure, air enters the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes and moves back up, the elasticity of the lungs and chest wall pushes air out of the lungs.
