No. When you exhale, you increase the pressure in your chest cavity to push out some of the air in your lungs.

When you exhale the diagram controls your breathing how?

The diagram acts as the main muscle of respiration. When you exhale, the diagram relaxes and moves up, reducing the volume of the chest cavity. This increase in pressure forces air out of the lungs.


What happens to the size of the chest cavity as you inhale?

The movement of the diaphragm affects the size of the chest cavity by when you inhale the chest cavity enlarges, but when you exhale the chest cavity becomes smaller.


Do you in hale or exhale when the volume of the chest cavity increases?

The air pressure in your chest cavity increases when you are exhaling. For air to leave your lungs, it must be at a higher pressure than the air outside. Your diaphragm pushes up against your chest cavity causing the space in your lungs to get smaller. If the volume decreases, the pressure has to rise. Don't believe me? start exhaling, then close your mouth. Your cheeks will puff out because the pressure inside is greater than the pressure outside.


What causes the diaphragm to return to its dome shaped position?

When you breathe out, or exhale, your diaphragm relaxes and moves upward into the chest cavity. The intercostal muscles between the ribs also relax to reduce the space in the chest cavity.

Would decreased airway resistance make it difficult for a person to exhale?

What happens when the muscle in your chest moves to cause you to exhale?

When you breathe out, or exhale, your diaphragm and rib muscles relax, reducing the space in the chest cavity. As the chest cavity gets smaller, your lungs deflate, similar to releasing of air from a balloon

What is the dome shaped muscel below the chest cavity?

The dome-shaped muscle below the chest cavity is called the diaphragm. It plays a crucial role in the breathing process by contracting and relaxing to create changes in thoracic pressure, allowing us to inhale and exhale air.


What Pressure of the air inside the lungs?

This depends on exhalation or inhalation. If you are exhaling the pressure would be greater inside the lungs than the outside, but if you are inhaling, then the pressure would be greater on the outside than the inside.


What happens to the air pressure in your chest cavity when you diaphragm relaxes?

OK, do you mean when the airway is open? If open, a slight decrease in pressure momentarily. If closed, a larger decrease in pressure.
