When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

The air which we breathe in and out of the lungs varies in its pressure. So basically when there is a fall in air pressure the alveolar spaces falls and the air enters the lungs (inspiration) and as the pressure of the alveoli within exceeds the atmospheric pressure the air is blown from the lungs (expiration). The flow rate of air is in proportion to the magnitude of the pressure difference.
The breathing mechanism involves two processes:
- Inspiration
- Expiration
