When we breathe out, or exhale, the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward into the thoracic cavity, while the chest wall also moves inward. This reduction in volume within the thoracic cavity increases the pressure, causing air to be expelled from the lungs. The ribcage may also lower slightly as the intercostal muscles relax, further aiding in the exhalation process.
