Is it true that the force that drives air into the lungs comes from air pressure?

True


How and why air moves into and out of lungs when you inhale and exhale?

When you breathe in, your diaphragm will contract, causing your lungs to expand and suck in air. When you breathe out, your diaphragm will relax, causing your lungs to shrink and force out air.

How molecules in the air cause air resistance?

When an object moves through the air, air molecules collide with its surface, creating a frictional force called air resistance. This force opposes the object's motion, making it more difficult to move forward. The more surface area the object has, the greater the air resistance it will experience.


What organ does the trachea force air into?
