When you exhale, the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward into a domed position. This increases the pressure in the chest cavity and forces air out of the lungs. The action of the diaphragm is caused by the muscles of the diaphragm relaxing. The elastic stretched lungs recoil becoming smaller again allowing the sternum and ribs to move downwards and inwards.
