During passive breathing the diaphragm moves down for inhalation this pushes the organs of the abdomen down and so pushes the rectus abdominus out, this is why you see your abdomen moving. To assist exhalation the rectus abbominus then contracts pushing the organs back in and so pushing hte diaphrag pack up.
Your diaphragm IS muscle. When we inhale, it is pushed down. When we exhale, it is pulled up.
The diaphragm is a muscle that moves or pushes up your lung when you exhale and down when you inhale in order to allow more space for oxygen to fill your lung. Also, your chest expands as you breath in and relax as you exhale.
you inhale when your diaphragm contracts.
the diaphragm. It is right above the heart and lungs, and expands and contracts when you breathe in and out. You can almost feel it move down a little, when you release air.
When the diaphragm contracts and moves lower, the chest cavity enlarges, reducing the pressure outside the lungs. To equalize the pressure, air enters the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes and moves back up, the elasticity of the lungs and chest wall pushes air out of the lungs.
No, as you inhale the diaphragm is contracting and pulling down, expanding the lungs. As you breathe out, the muscle relaxes and rises up again.
Take a good puff, then inhale air through your mouth, so you can push the smoke down into your lungs, hold it there for about 5 seconds, exhale.
Simple answer. All your life your lungs inhale and exhale oxygen. This is facilitated by the diaphragm, a muscle just below the lungs. When this muscle moves down a partial vacuum is created allowing the lungs to inflate filling the space created by the moving diaphragm, it then moves up again compressing the lungs and therefore expelling the air in them.
A person's last breath is typically an exhale. As the body finalizes its process of dying, the last breath is usually an exhale as the lungs release air before the respiratory system shuts down.
Exhale while sitting up and inhale while going back down.
The diaphragm moves down and contracts, flattening itself, when you inhale.
When you inhale, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This movement creates more space in the chest cavity, allowing the lungs to expand and fill with air.
