Answer:
A large dome-shaped muscle under the lungs called the diaphragm squeezes downward when you breathe in, making a vacuum that causes a rush of fresh air into your lungs. The opposite happens when you breathe out -- your diaphragm relaxes upward, pushing on your lungs, letting them deflate.

Upon inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and flattens and the chest cavity enlarges. This contraction creates a vacuum, which pulls air into the lungs. Upon exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes and returns to its domelike shape, and air is forced out of the lungs.
