Answer 8

Breathing begins with a cluster of nerve cells in the brain called the respiratory centre. These cells send a simultaneous signal to the diaphragm and rob muscles, the muscles involved in inspiration The rib muscles contract and the rib cage is pulled up. The diaphragm is stimulated by a nerve impulse and it flattens. The chest cavity is expanded and its volume increases. The air pressure in the expanded lungs becomes lower than the pressure outside the body. Air is sucked into the luns to balance the pressure. Nerve stimulation stops briefly, the diaphragm and the rib muscles relax. They fall to their normal position and the arch of the diaphragm is raised. The volume of the lungs decreases which leads to an increase in air pressure inside the lungs. The pressure of the air inside the lungs becomes higher than the atmospheric pressure and the air is forced out of the lungs.
