What is the large breathing muscle that contracts to create a vacuum drawing air into the nose and mouth?
Your lungs are the largest breathing muscle in your body.
What does the human diaphragm do?
It contracts and relaxes to help pull air into the lungs and push it back out. The diaphragm contracts and moves lower which expands the ribs and allows air to move into the lungs. When it relaxes, the ribs contract and push air back out of the lungs.
Is the lungs a muscle?
Lungs are not muscles. They are made up of connective, epithelial, and nervous tissues. The diaphragm is the muscle that contracts and relaxes to expand and relax the chest cavity. Your lungs just fill with air -- which is why they appear to be moving (much like a when a balloon fills with air).
What force cause air to move in an out of the lungs?
inhale:- the air pressure in the lungs decreases and air moves in. exhale:-air pressure in the lungs increases and air moves out.
What is a latge mussel mammals have for bringing air into their body?
A mussel is a shellfish. - You are referring to a 'muscle', and animals get air through the trachea into the lungs as the diaphragm muscle expands and contracts.
What is the function of the sphincter in the urinary system?
The diaphragm is the main muscle involved with the respiratory system. It either contracts or expands to allow air in or out of the lungs, which makes you breathe.The diaphragm is the main muscle involved with the respiratory system.

When you breath which muscle is doing the main contraction to force air in and out?
The diaphragm, a muscle below the lungs, contracts to pull air into the lungs. In order to forcefully exhale, both the abdominal muscles and the internal intercostal muscles can be contracted to compress the lungs.
Were is the diaphragm belong?
The diaphagm - is a sheet of muscle that separates the lungs from the abdomen. When we breathe in - it contracts, which makes the lungs expand - drawing air in. When we breathe out - it relaxes, allowing the air to escape.
How do the lungs move?
The diaphragm is a strong wall of muscle on the bottom of the chest cavity. As this wall of muscle expands downward, a vacuum is created which pulls air into the lungs. As the diaphragm returns to it's original position, air is pushed out of the lungs.
How does your body pull air in and push it out?
The process of breathing involves the contraction of the diaphragm, a dome-shaped muscle located below the lungs. When you inhale, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward, creating more space in the chest cavity for the lungs to expand and fill with air. When you exhale, the diaphragm relaxes and moves back up, pushing the air out of the lungs.
What is Diaphragm?
Lungs do not contain muscle tissue. air enters your lungs when the muscular diaphragm contracts, pulling your ribs up and out. The diaphragm relaxes when you exhale.
What muscles help you breathe?
The main muscle that helps us to breathe is the diaphragm. When it contracts it creates a lower pressure area inside the lungs than is in the outside air, and this basically sucks air into the lungs. The lungs exhale through their own natural recoil.
