the diaphragm works as any other skeletal muscle, its contraction leads to the increase of the thoracic cavity hence reducing the pressure in the thoracic cavity making air to fill the lungs

How pressure diaphragm work?

A pressure diaphragm works by responding to changes in pressure on one side of the diaphragm, causing it to move. This movement is then converted into a mechanical or electrical signal that can be used to measure or control pressure in a system or device. The diaphragm's flexibility allows it to accurately sense and react to pressure variations.


How does the diaphragm work to allow the lungs to inflate?

The diaphragm is a thin band of muscle under the lungs. When it contracts, the lungs are pulled up and out, reducing the air pressure and causing oxygen to be drawn in. When the diaphragm relaxes, the carbon dioxide is pushed out of the lungs.
