answer
The diaphragm contracts and lowers during the process of inhalation. T or F
Unlock the answer
question
During inhalation the thoracic cavity must expand in order to make room for the expansion of the lungs. The diaphragm is lowered and contracts. As the diaphram lowers, the rib cage expands, enlarging the thoracic cavity and allowing air to move into the lungs. As the air pressure in the lungs becomes less than the air pressure in the environement, air rushes into the lungs because of negative pressure and it is equalizing. Exhalation the lungs deflate because they are composed of elastic tissure. The diaphragm relaxes and rises to its original position. In effect, the rib cage also becomes smaller.
