the diaphragm
No, the lung is not a muscle. It is an organ responsible for breathing and exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body.
Yes, the diaphragm is considered a skeletal muscle because it is under voluntary control and is responsible for the process of breathing.
The main muscle of the pulmonary system is the diaphragm,which is important for breathing and respiration.It is responsible for 45% of the air that is inhaled.
Your diaphragm is the muscle beneath your lungs that expand and retract, helping pump oxygen in and out of your body.
The diaphragm. It is the only muscle that causes breathing.
The diaphragm is the primary muscle responsible for the inspiratory phase of breathing in the thorax. It contracts and moves downward, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and allowing air to enter the lungs. This action helps in the intake of oxygen during inhalation.
The diaphragm is the primary muscle responsible for breathing. When it contracts, it moves downward, creating a vacuum in the chest cavity which draws air into the lungs. When it relaxes, the diaphragm moves back up, pushing air out of the lungs.
Previous answer: "involuntary muscles"This answer is not accurate. While breathing muscles do act involuntarily, they can also be activated voluntarily. The two primary muscles responsible for breathing are the diaphragm and the tranversus abdominus. The diaphragm is the primary muscle for inhalation, if you're breathing correctly. The transverse is the primary muscle for forced exhalation.Since both muscle, when contracting, move inward into the abdominal cavity, where your organs of digestion are, they move the internal organs, essentially creating an internal massage mechanism for the large and small intestines, which helps keep smooth motion going in the involuntary pyloric (intestinal) muscles.

Believe it or not, the bicep muscle has almost nothing to do with arm strength. That muscle is mostly responsible for allowing you to bend your arm or flex it towards your shoulder.
What are some reasons that your diaphragm muscle would hurt when breathing in and out?
