When you breathe in, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward, creating a vacuum that allows air to flow into your lungs. Additionally, the intercostal muscles between your ribs contract, lifting the rib cage and further expanding the chest cavity. This expansion decreases the pressure in the lungs, enabling air to rush in and fill the space. When you exhale, these muscles relax, and the chest cavity returns to its original size, pushing air out of the lungs.
