Solution 1

When breathing:

1. IN (Inhalation)

  • The diaphragm contracts and moves downward.
  • The intercostal muscles contract, raising the ribcage.
  • This increases the volume of the thoracic cavity and decreases the pressure inside, allowing air to flow into the lungs.

2. OUT (Exhalation)
