it just comes apart. If air pressure is pumped out,then it would be impossible to pull apart unless air gets back in. this is the story about the Magdeburg experiment:
The Magdeburg hemispheres were a pair of large copper hemispheres with mating rims. When the rims were sealed with grease and the air was pumped out, the sphere contained a vacuum and could not be pulled apart by teams of horses. German scientist and mayor of Magdeburg, Otto von Guericke in 1650, designed the Magdeburg hemispheres. He designed them to demonstrate the air pump he had invented and the concept of atmospheric pressure. The first artificial vacuum had been produced a few years earlier by Evangelista Torricelli, and had inspired von Guericke to design the world's first vacuum pump, which consisted of a piston and cylinder with one-way flap valves. The hemispheres became popular in physics lectures as an illustration of the power of air pressure, and are still used in education. The original hemispheres are preserved in the Deutsches Museum in Munich.

What happens to the pressure and volume inside the thoracic cavity when you pull the rubber diaphragm down the lung model?

When the diaphragm is pulled down, the volume of the thoracic cavity increases, and the air pressure in the thoracic cavity decreases. This causes inhalation.

What happens to the thoracic cavity when the diaphragm relaxes?

When the diaphragm relaxes, the volume of the thoracic cavity decreases. The resultant decrease in thoracic cavity leads to an increase in the pressure. This increase in pressure leads to the exhalation of air out of the lungs into the atmosphere.

What happens to hair when it's pulled out?

When a hair is pulled out, the hair follicle is disrupted and the hair falls out. The follicle may bleed briefly, but a new hair will eventually grow in its place. Repeatedly pulling out hair can lead to damage to the follicle and potentially inhibit hair growth.
