During inhalation (inspiration) the ribs move up and out. Volume in the thorax increases whilst pressure decreases. The diaphragm goes down and the intercostal muscles contract.

Just to let you know, exhaling (expiration) is just the opposite to inspiration. :)

What are similarities and differences between inhalation and exhalation?

Both inhalation and exhalation are part of the respiratory process where air is exchanged in the lungs. During inhalation, the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract to expand the chest cavity, allowing air to enter the lungs. During exhalation, these muscles relax, and the chest cavity decreases in size, forcing air out of the lungs. The key difference is the direction of airflow: inhalation is the process of taking air into the lungs, while exhalation is the process of expelling air from the lungs.
