For inhalation, your intercostal muscles contract. While doing so, this moves your rip cage outwards and upwards. The diaphragm contracts moving downwards. So, this increases your volume of the chest so the pressure decreases inside the chest. Therefore the air rushes in to balance with the pressure. 

<span>For exhalation, it is the complete opposite... So, first off, your intercostal muscles relax so the rip cage moves downwards and inwards. Then, the diaphragm relaxes, and moves upward into a dome-like-shape. This action decreases the volume of your chest so that the pressure increases and air rushes out to balance the pressure.

<span>When you exhale you breathe outwards and when you inhale you breathe inwards. Breathing is performed by the respiratory system, which consists of the lungs, trachea, bronchi and diaphragm. The first step to breathing is inhalation. Inhalation occurs when oxygen-rich air is sucked into the body. The diaphragm initiates inhalation by contracting the muscles. As the muscles contract, the chest cavity becomes larger. With the larger cavity the lungs do not feel pressure from the outside. As the air is pulled into the body, the pressure is again equalized. Once the oxygen is in the blood and ready to be pumped throughout the body, the final step of exhalation must be completed. To exhale, the muscles of the diaphragm relax which adds pressure to the chest cavity and forces air from the alveoli into the bronchioles. The air continues to move through the tubes reaching the bronchi. The air containing the carbon dioxide then travels through the trachea and back out the mouth or nose.</span>

Cognitive development in the __________ stage involves changing from reflex behavior to intentional action and the attainment of
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Sensorimotor stage

Explanation:

The sensorimotor stage of development, is the first stage of cognitive development of infants, children, and adolescents.  A child of about 2 years of age, is in the sensorimotor stage.

Infants at the early stage of life, sense what is directly in front of them. Their learning pattern at this early stage is a trial and error pattern involving gripping, throwing etc.

As soon as the object is taken away from the direct view of an infant, it ceases to exist to him/her. This is because objects exist to infants when they can sense them and interact with them.

.A significant development during the sensorimotor stage is the understanding of an infant that objects exist and that events occur in the world independently from their actions and what they sense.The infant now has a representation of the object and realizes the object can still exist independently.This is known as object permanence
