When the diaphragm contracts does lung volume increase or decrease?
The downward contraction of the diaphragm (below the lungs) decreases the pressure within the lungs by expanding the thoracic cavity. The lungs sag into the cavity, and outside air flows into the lungs.
The contraction of the diaphragm allows the person (or animal) to inhale air. When the diaphragm relaxes, it pushes upward on the lungs and exhalation occurs.

The lungs. The bronchioles are the first airway branches that no longer contain cartilage. They are branches of the bronchi, and are smaller than one millimeter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchiole The lungs are in the respiratory system. They are used in the processing of oxygen in the body. The bronchioles are the first airway branches that no longer contain cartilage. They are branches of the bronchi, and are smaller than one millimeter.
A subpleural bulla ("bullae" is the plural form) is a bubble-like structure which forms in the lungs (just beneath the lung's cover : "pleura" - hence the name) as a result of a disease called "emphysema". A mild form of this disease is rather common and often without any symptoms in younger adults. The bullae are defined as to be at least 1 cm in diameter and to have a wall less than 1 mm thick. Eventually, they may rupture and cause a transient sharp chest pain which resolves by itself within a brief period of time, called "spontaneous pneumothorax".
