Yes, when you breathe, your ribcage expands (moves up and out) as your lungs fill with air, and contracts (moves down and in) as you exhale. This movement helps create the necessary space within the chest cavity for the lungs to expand and contract efficiently during the breathing process.

How do mammals breathe in or breathe out?

A network of muscles above the stomach but under the ribcage, called the Diaphragm, acts as a bellows and applies pressure on the lungs. It pulls down to cause the lungs to fill with air and pushed up to expel carbon dioxide from the lungs.


What does a scapula look like?

It's a triangular shaped bone which makes up part of your shoulder girdle. Otherwise known as your shoulder blade, it's attached to your ribcage at the back by muscles which allow the scapula to move around your ribcage and enable you to raise your arm up in the air


What happens to ribs when you breathe out?

When we breathe out, the muscles between the ribs move down and inwards. The diaphragm moves upwards. The volume inside the chest decreases. This causes air to rush out of your lungs. P.S. I copied that out of my science work sheet. LOL!

Describe the movement of the ribcage and diaphragm during exhalation?

I believe the ribs are there to protect our lungs, heart etc. When we breath in, what we are actually doing is telling our diaphragm to contract, which moves it in a downwards motion. This caused pressure in our lungs to lower which pulls in air.

Raising your arms can restrict the movement of your ribcage and diaphragm, making it harder for your lungs to expand fully and causing a decrease in your ability to take deep breaths.
