The diaphragm is the muscle below the lungs, and above the stomach, responsible for breathing.

The diaphragm works by pulling tighter, thus decreasing the pressure in the lungs, pulling air in through the trachea. To exhale, the diaphragm relaxes, and chest muscles contract, pushing the air back out.

How would you find the density of your body?

To find the density of your body, you would measure your body's mass using a scale and then calculate your body's volume by measuring its dimensions and using the appropriate formula (e.g., water displacement method). The density of your body is then calculated by dividing the mass by the volume.


How do you find the density of your own body?

To find the density of your body, you would need to measure your weight and volume. You can measure weight using a scale, and volume can be estimated by submerging yourself in water and measuring the displaced volume. Divide your weight by your volume to get your body density.


Would your body explode in space due to the lack of atmospheric pressure?

Yes, the lack of atmospheric pressure in space would cause the gases and fluids in your body to expand, but your body would not explode. Instead, you would experience a condition called ebullism, where fluids in your body would vaporize and you would lose consciousness due to lack of oxygen.


How many pounds of water would you find in a person who weighs 100 pounds?

Assuming that approximately 60% of a person's body weight is water, a person who weighs 100 pounds would contain about 60 pounds of water.


To find the mass of a rectangular object you multiply the object's length width and height?

If you know the density of the rectangular body you can find the volume and the plug it into this equation mass= (density)*(volume) If you have the means you can just submerge the body completely in water and find the volume of the water displaced that will be the mass as waters density is 1 g/cm^3
