The primary muscle that moves the diaphragm is the diaphragm itself, which contracts and flattens during inhalation to allow air to fill the lungs and relaxes during exhalation to push air out. Additionally, the intercostal muscles, located between the ribs, assist in this process by raising and lowering the rib cage, which indirectly influences the movement of the diaphragm.
What else can I help you with?
What moves upwards and downwards when the diaphragm contracts and flattens?
The lungs move downwards when the diaphragm contracts and flattens, allowing air to be drawn into the lungs.
Does a black hole move upwards or downwards?
Downwards
Function of ribs and diaphragm in the breathing process?
Ribs are for protection i think and diaphragm is the muscle controlling inhaling and exhaling. Also: the rib muscles can help the breathing process, which is useful when the diaphragm is weak, constricted, or to get an extra-big breath. Breathing from the diaphragm makes the belly move in and out as the lungs extend downwards. Breathing from the rib muscles makes the chest expand and rise.
What is the move called where you move your leg in an upwards and downwards motion?
Its called the Nutbush City Limits:)
When you inhale what direction does the diaphragm move?
Upwards, toward the head.
What muscles move the air in and out of the lungs?
I think you meant move air into the lungs. The muscle is the diaphragm.
How do the lungs take in and breathe out?
During inspiration the ribs move upwards and outwards and the diaphragm contracts ,thus,increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity.this leads to a decrease in pressure inside the lung.therefore the air from outside rushes in . During expiration the ribs move inwards and downwards and the diaphragm relaxes thus,creating low pressure .this leads to the expulsion of air from our body.
What are the Muscles beneath lungs that helps air move in and out?
The muscle is known as the diaphragm.
Do lungs have musles?
yes because organs are made up of tissues and so are muscles and for the lungs to move they need the muscle. So yes your lungs do have muscles.
Which process causes the diaphragm to move back up?
Contraction of the diaphragm muscle causes it to move back up. When the diaphragm contracts, it flattens and moves downwards, increasing the volume in the thoracic cavity. This action creates negative pressure, sucking air into the lungs.
What will you do if your muscles stop functioning?
You will not be able to move and if the condition affects your diaphragm or heart, you will die.
When does an object not move downwards under the effect of gravity?
On every object on earth, earth exerts a force on it which is equal to the weight of object. When we throw a object it earth exerts force on it and it came downwards but if we throw it with escape velocity then it will not move downwards.
