No, it pulls down to draw air into the lungs.

How do the ribs and diaphragm move to aide inspiration?
Respiration is a process which involves taking in of oxygen through inhalation to supply to the tissues and release of carbon di oxide through exhalation from tissues to the atmosphere. During inhalation the rib cabe expands by moving out. The diaphragm moves down. These two process occur simultaneously to increase the air holding capacity of the lungs by expanding the alveolar cells of lungs.
Which organs cause inhalation and exhalation to occur?
Respiratory system.
Movement of the diaphragm during inhalation?
During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts flattening out its usual dome shaped appearance. This has the effect of lengthening the lungs and increasing the intrapulmonary volume. When the volume increases, the pressure drops and air flows into the lungs.
Which process causes the diaphragm to move back up?
Exhalation
Does the diaphragm deal with inspiration or expiration?
The diaphragm regulates respiration - so both inhalation and exhalation. I reccomend this nt be placed in radiology as it is at the time of this writing.
How do inhalation and exhalation impact diaphragm movement?
Diaphragm movement impacts inhalation and exhalation. It moves upward on exhalation.
When the diaphragm contracts it causes?
Inhalation
What is the prime muscle for inhalation?
Diaphragm
What are you doing when your diaphragm moves up and your ribs move down and in?
Your diaphragm lowers and your ribs expand outwards
Describe the movement of the ribcage and diaphragm during exhalation?
I believe the ribs are there to protect our lungs, heart etc. When we breath in, what we are actually doing is telling our diaphragm to contract, which moves it in a downwards motion. This caused pressure in our lungs to lower which pulls in air.
How the diaphragm and the rib cage move?
These are the muscles that move the rib cage and they work together:Diaphragm (Prime mover of inhalation). If you need to breathe deeper you will use these:Scalenes (Elevate rib cage, assist in inhalation)Sternocleidomastoid (Elevate Rib Cage, assist in inhalation)Pectoralis minor (Elevate Rib Cage, assist in inhalation)External Intercostals (Elevate rib cage, assist in inhalation)Internal Intercostals (Depress, assist in exhalation)The diaphragm is under both voluntary control (holding your breath) and involuntary control (sleeping, reading)
Which phase of breathing inhalation or exhalation is considered active and passive?
Inhalation is an active process and exhalation is a passive process
Which muscle or muscles are the most important muscles used in inspiration and inhalation?
the diaphragm is the muscle(s) that are most important muscle used in inspiration (inhalation)?
What muscle regulates inhalation and exhalation?
The diaphragm muscle.
The large muscle primarily responsible for inhalation is the?
Diaphragm
The diaphragm contracts during what phase of respiration?
inhalation
How the process of inhalation take place?
During inhalation (inspiration) the ribs move up and out. Volume in the thorax increases whilst pressure decreases. The diaphragm goes down and the intercostal muscles contract. Just to let you know, exhaling (expiration) is just the opposite to inspiration. :) - Hope I helped :)
