What is the use of diaphragm
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 11 months ago

  • The diaphragm in the respiratory system is the dome shaped sheet of muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen.
  • During inhalation the diaphragm contracts and moves in the inferior direction, thus enlarging the volume of the thoracic cavity.
  • This reduces the pressure in the lungs and air enters into lungs.
  • During exhalation the diaphragm relaxes and assumes its dome shape. This change increases the pressure on the lungs and squeezes the air out through the nose to the external atmosphere.
