Describe how the diaphragm and rib cage function in moving air out of a mammal's lungs?
The thoracic cavity (the chamber that holds the lungs and heart) is separated from the abdominal cavity by a muscular sheet, the diaphragm. When relaxed, the diaphragm bows into the thoracic cavity, decreases the volume of the cavity, and with contraction of abdominal muscles forces air out of the lungs; when the muscles of the diaphragm contract, it becomes taut and flat, increasing the volume and lowering the pressure of this cavity, drawing air into the lungs. To support their high energy demands for oxygen, mammals must be able to breathe while they suckle, chew food, or clutch prey in their jaws. This capacity is provided by the secondary palate, a shelf of bone forming the roof of the mouth, which separates the mouth from the nasal passages.

What is the function of a mechanical wave driver in the context of sound production?
The function of a mechanical wave driver in sound production is to convert electrical signals into mechanical vibrations that create sound waves. This device is essential in producing sound in speakers and headphones by moving a diaphragm or other components to generate sound waves that we can hear.
How is air moved into and out of the lungs and what organs are involved?
The main muscle of respiration (moving air into and out of the lungs) is the diaphragm.
