The contraction of diaphragm takes place at the time of inhalation, which flattens and increases the chest cavity. Due to the contraction, a vacuum is generated that makes the air to get in within the lungs. In contrast, the diaphragm relaxes at the time of exhalation and moves back to its original shape, thus, making the air move out of the lungs.
