When you inhale, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward, while the intercostal muscles expand the ribcage. This creates a negative pressure within the chest cavity, causing the lungs to expand and draw air in. As a result, the volume of the thoracic cavity increases, allowing for greater lung capacity and facilitating the intake of oxygen.

What happens to the volume of your chest cavity when you inhale?
When you inhale, the volume of your chest cavity increases. This expansion is caused by the contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, allowing more space for the lungs to expand and fill with air.
What is the amount of air called you can inhale above tidal inspiration?
The amount of air you can inhale above tidal inspiration is called inspiratory reserve volume (IRV). It represents the additional air you can breathe in after a normal inhalation.
Which organ expands to inhale and contracts to exhale?
The organ that expands to inhale and contracts to exhale is the diaphragm. When you inhale, the diaphragm moves downward, increasing the thoracic cavity's volume and allowing air to flow into the lungs. During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward, decreasing the thoracic cavity's volume and pushing air out of the lungs. This rhythmic movement is essential for breathing.
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 happens to volume when moles are halved?
The volume is 50 %; the molar volume is 22,414 L.
What happens to the volume of your chest cavity when you inhale?

Inspiratory Capacity
What happens to the pressure inside the lungs as the volume of the thorax increase?
As your diaphragm expands, the pressure in your thoracic cavity decreases. Air rushes into the partial vacuum, and you inhale.
