thoracic cavity
No, the lungs are located in the chest, on either side of the heart. They extend from just above the collarbone down to the diaphragm, which is the muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity.
the lungs are above the diaphragm.
Your diaphragm contracts and expands when you breath. When the diaphragm contracts, air rushes into the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes, air is exhaled.
I think you meant move air into the lungs. The muscle is the diaphragm.
I believe that answer is the diaphragm. As the diaphragm moves up and down, it expands the lungs, and when the diaphragm goes up, the lungs release the air out again.
The lungs are bigger than the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle located beneath the lungs. When it contracts, it flattens out, creating more space in the chest cavity for the lungs to expand.
The diaphragm is a thin band of muscle under the lungs. When it contracts, the lungs are pulled up and out, reducing the air pressure and causing oxygen to be drawn in. When the diaphragm relaxes, the carbon dioxide is pushed out of the lungs.
The lungs are located above the diaphragm, which is a dome-shaped muscle located at the bottom of the chest cavity. The diaphragm separates the chest cavity (where the lungs are located) from the abdominal cavity (where organs like the liver and stomach are situated). When the diaphragm contracts and moves downward, it creates more space for the lungs to expand during inhalation.
Yes the liver lies below the diaphragm on the right side of the abdomen.
The diaphragm moves down to make the lungs expand (inhalation)
Lungs do not actively expand and contract by themselves. A muscle below the lungs called the diaphragm acts as a bellow, creating negative pressure within the abdominal cavity that holds the lungs to allow air to rush in and out the lungs.
The dome shaped muscle that works with the lungs is the diaphragm.
