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.

What happens to the air that is inhaled?
When you inhale, air enters your respiratory system through your nose and/or mouth, travels down your windpipe, and into your lungs. In the lungs, the oxygen from the air is absorbed into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide is released from the bloodstream into the lungs to be exhaled out of the body.
What happens if I accidentally inhale food?
If you accidentally inhale food, it can lead to choking or aspiration pneumonia. Choking occurs when food blocks the airway, making it difficult to breathe. Aspiration pneumonia happens when food or liquid enters the lungs, causing infection. It is important to seek medical help if you experience difficulty breathing or coughing after inhaling food.
Chest x-ray will be done at exhale or inhale breath?
A chest x-ray is typically done during a full inhale to optimize visualization of the lungs and chest structures. The deep inhale expands the lungs and allows for better assessment of any abnormalities.
Which body part is responsible for the breathing process?
The lungs are the primary organ responsible for the breathing process. When you inhale, the lungs expand to take in oxygen. When you exhale, the lungs contract to release carbon dioxide.
What take places when you inhale and exhale?
When you inhale, your diaphragm and rib muscles contract, expanding your chest cavity and allowing air to be drawn into your lungs. This process brings oxygen into the body. When you exhale, your diaphragm and rib muscles relax, causing your chest cavity to decrease in size and push the air out of your lungs. This process expels carbon dioxide from the body.
