Explanation:

When the diaphragm contracts, it moves inferiorly toward the abdominal cavity, creating a larger thoracic cavity and more space for the lungs. Contraction of the external intercostal muscles moves the ribs upward and outward, causing the rib cage to expand, which increases the volume of the thoracic cavity.

The description of the breathing of the diaphragm and intercostal muscle is as follows:

Explanation:

  • The breathing is the metabolic process in living beings. It involves the inspiration and expiration. Inspiration can be defined as the process by which the air enters into the lungs whereas the expiration is the process by which the air leaves the lungs.
  • There are two muscles involved in the inspiration and expiration these are called as diaphragm and intercostal muscles.
  • The expiration is a passive process, that is the energy is not lost while pushing the air out of the lungs.
  • The lung tissues are elastic which means tissues of the lungs becomes recoil and the intercostal muscles and diaphragm relax and sit back in the thoracic cavity to expel the air out of the lungs.
  • The thoracic cavity as well as lungs decrease in volume which causes the increase in the pressure of the interpulmonary pressure.
  • The interpulmonary pressure rises above the atmospheric pressure, which creates a pressure gradient and causes air to leave the lungs.
