Answer:

The hypothesis refers to the proposed or suggested explanation for any observed phenomenon. It provides the starting point for scientific investigation after which experiments are designed and performed in order to pass or fail the hypothesis.

In contrast, a theory refers to a set of principles which are well supported by scientific experiments, pieces of evidence, and observations.

IrinaK [193]

The answer is that Both aid in the expansion and relaxation of lungs. Diaphragm and the rib muscles are vital in the breathing process. During inhalation the intercostal muscles contract, expanding the ribcage, the diaphragm contracts, pulling downwards to increase the volume of the chest, pressure inside the chest is lowered and air is sucked into the lungs. During exhalation the intercostal muscles relax, the ribcage drops inward and downwards, the diaphragm relaxes, moving back upwards, decreasing the volume of the chest, the pressure inside the chest increases and air is forced out.
