An increase in volume DECREASES the pressure in the chest (pressure and volume vary inversely when temperature is held constant -- Boyle's law). Gas can only flow from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure. It can't go uphill -- ever. It can only go from high to low pressure. When the diaphragm and intercostals contract, the diaphragm flattens and the rib cage rises. That increases the volume of the chest. That increase in volume decreases the pressure inside the chest (temperature is held constant -- because the temperature of the chest cavity does not change appreciably. It remains at body temp.). Air then flows from the area of higher pressure (atmospheric) to lower pressure (intrathoracic). That continues until the pressures are equal.
When the diaphragm and intercostals relax, the chest cavity decreases in size, the pressure increases to above atmospheric, and gas flows again from the area of higher pressure (intrathoracic) to lower pressure (atmospheric) until they are again equal.
It has nothing to do with the concentration of oxygen. You can ventilate a lung with ANY gas. It has to do with the change in pressure and only the change in pressure -- which is a function of the volume of the chest cavity.

Explanation:
<span>Everyone has cells because these are the building
blocks of life. These tiny particles that clump into groups that form tissues,
organs, and organ systems are
what makes organisms distinct from non-living things that exist on Earth. Where
there are cells, life is present, and in its absence life cannot exist as we
know of today. Cells are responsible for bringing different species of
organisms that are found in different ecosystems all over Earth. They are tiny
but in groups they are responsible for every living organisms that have existed
through time. </span>
