Answer:
The diaphragm, located below the lungs, is the major muscle of respiration. It is a large, dome-shaped muscle that contracts rhythmically and continually, and most of the time, involuntarily. Upon inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and flattens and the chest cavity enlarges.

✨The diaphragm is major muscle required for respiration.
✨As the diaphragm contacts it increases the diameter and length of the chest cavity and thus expands lungs. This reduces the pressure outside the lungs.
✨To equalise this pressure the air enters through our lungs .When the diaphragm relaxes and moves backs up, the elasticity of lungs and chest push the air out of the lungs.
✨This process repeats and is called Respiration.
