Best Answer

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.
