What is the dome shaped muscel below the chest cavity?
The dome-shaped muscle below the chest cavity is called the diaphragm. It plays a crucial role in the breathing process by contracting and relaxing to create changes in thoracic pressure, allowing us to inhale and exhale air.
What happens to the size of the chest cavity as you inhale?
The movement of the diaphragm affects the size of the chest cavity by when you inhale the chest cavity enlarges, but when you exhale the chest cavity becomes smaller.
What body parts are responsiable for making the chestt cavity smaller when you exhale?

How does the diaphragm works?
The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle located beneath the lungs that contracts and flattens when you inhale, creating a vacuum in the chest cavity that allows air to rush into the lungs. When you exhale, the diaphragm relaxes and returns to its dome shape, pushing air out of the lungs. This process of contraction and relaxation allows for breathing to take place.
When does the chest cavity become larger?
When you breath in, it becomes larger. Conversely, it is smaller when you exhale.
Do you exhale because the air pressure in the chest cavity has decreased?
No. When you exhale, you increase the pressure in your chest cavity to push out some of the air in your lungs.
When we breathe out what happen to the diaphragm and the chest?
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.
When a human inhales the thoracic cavity expands expanding your lungs and creating a?
it creates a kind of balloon that contains all the oxygen and then the blood collects it. when you exhale the balloon contract taking all the air out of your lungs

What is the changes in size of thoracic cavity during the contraction and relaxation of diaphragm?
When the Diaphragm contracts, it is pulled down, and is pulled back up when it relaxes.Also, when you inhale, it contracts. When you exhale, it relaxes.
What happens to the size of the chest cavity as you inhale?
The movement of the diaphragm affects the size of the chest cavity by when you inhale the chest cavity enlarges, but when you exhale the chest cavity becomes smaller.
Does the rib cage move up and down when we exhale?
When we exhale, the rib cage moves down and inward as the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward. This action decreases the volume of the thoracic cavity, leading to an increase in pressure that pushes air out of the lungs. So, during exhalation, the rib cage does not move up; rather, it moves down.
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.

What happens when the muscle in your chest moves to cause you to exhale?
When you breathe out, or exhale, your diaphragm and rib muscles relax, reducing the space in the chest cavity. As the chest cavity gets smaller, your lungs deflate, similar to releasing of air from a balloon
When does the chest cavity become larger?
When you breath in, it becomes larger. Conversely, it is smaller when you exhale.
