The primary force that moves air in and out of the lungs is the pressure difference created by the diaphragm and intercostal muscles during breathing. When the diaphragm contracts, it expands the thoracic cavity, reducing pressure in the lungs and drawing air in (inhalation). Conversely, when the diaphragm relaxes, the thoracic cavity decreases in size, increasing lung pressure and pushing air out (exhalation). This process is often referred to as the mechanics of ventilation.

What muscle works with the lungs and ribs to get air in and waste gases out of the lungs?

The muscle is the "diaphragm" muscle. It is located beneath the lungs. When it moves down and away, it creates lower pressure around the lungs, and the air pressure outside the body flows into the lungs. When it moves up and in, it compresses the lungs, increasing the pressure to force the air back out.
