what is the role of diaphragm in breathing?
Answers
tree gives us oxygen and humans breath oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide and trees breath carbon dioxide and gives out oxygen
Answer:
Diaphragm contracts and relaxes during respiration .
When you are inhaling air you can actually see your diaphragm move downwards . When it moves downward it increases the volume of thoracic cavity in anterio- posterio axis . As you know boyle's law pressure is inversely proportional to volume . Thereby when volume increases in anterio- posterio axis pressure decreases . It decreases to such an extent that the atmospheric pressure outside becomes higher than that inside ,( and since we know gases move from a region of high pressure to low pressure ) therefore air will move into your lungs from outside . In a nutshell diaphragm helps in creating pressure gradients which in turn are responsible for respiration.
