What is the job of the diaphragm in the body?
The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle located below the lungs that plays a crucial role in breathing. When you inhale, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward, creating a vacuum that allows air to enter the lungs. When you exhale, the diaphragm relaxes and moves upwards, helping to expel air from the lungs.

What is the function of the diaphragm in a rat?
The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle located below the lungs that plays a crucial role in breathing in rats. When the diaphragm contracts, it flattens out, creating a vacuum that pulls air into the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes, it returns to its dome shape, forcing air out of the lungs.
What organs used for respiration?
The main organs used for respiration include the lungs, where oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is expelled, and the diaphragm, a muscle that aids in the breathing process by helping to expand and contract the lungs.
