Your lung is totally elastic organ. If air enters the pleura, lung will contract. It will be useless for respiration in such case. You have to put under water seal to take out the air from the pleura. If air happens to enter in both of the pleura, you will die in 5 minutes.

Why can the lungs expand and contract Is it because of muscular walls?

The lungs can expand and contract due to the presence of specialized muscles called the diaphragm and intercostal muscles that help regulate the volume of the thoracic cavity. When these muscles contract, the volume of the chest cavity increases, causing air to flow into the lungs (inhalation). When these muscles relax, the volume decreases, causing air to flow out of the lungs (exhalation).

Lungs are passive players in pulmonary ventilation. The diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract to create a pressure gradient that allows air to move in and out of the lungs. The lungs simply expand and contract in response to these pressure changes.


What muscle in the lungs which contract and releases changing the volume of the lungs?

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.
