What happens when the diaphragm is pulled down (Do you inhale or exhale)?

How should I know? first of all you should know. but since you must be clueless (no offense :/) the correct answer would be yes, your diaphragm does go down when you inhale Ew, the above answer is absolutely obnoxious. Your diaphragm moves down when you inspire air. It does this to help the lungs open up so more air can get in. Your diaphragm is attached to the lung by pleura. Imagine wearing two latex gloves on one hand. If you pinch one of the gloves, say on the back of your hand, and pull the glove up, the second glove will follow. The first glove is what is attached to your diaphragm and the second glove is your lungs. Now if air goes into the second glove (or your lungs) it will fill the space you just made (especially because there is negative pressure in the glove, just like the lungs)

When you breathe in do your lungs go up and out?

When you breath, your lungs can go up and out a little, but mostly, your lungs go down. The breathing device is the diaphragm, a sheet of muscles going across your chest inside front to back. As the diaphragm 'bends' itself down, the lungs have to move with it and get bigger. When the lungs get bigger, they have no choice but to suck in more air through the mouth or nose. When the diaphragm 'bends' or moves upward, air is pushed out of the lungs.

How does the diaphragm muscle assist with respiration?

Respiration. The diaphragm is a sheet of muscle separating the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity which, when relaxed, domes upwards; on breathing in the diaphragm contracts & flattens down, thus increasing the capacity of the chest, and causing air to be drawn into the lungs.When the diaphragm contracts that causes the volume of the lungs to increase. When the lung volume increases, the air pressure drops causing air to come in from outside (inhaling). When the diaphragm relaxes, the process is reversed. Lung volume decreases, air pressure builds, and air is forced out (exhaling).
