Explain the role of diaphragm in the process of breathing​

Biology
1 answer:
Nina [5.8K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<em><u>The diaphragm muscle contacts and relaxes to force the intake and expulsion of air from the lungs.</u></em>

Explanation:

The diaphragm is a large, dome-shaped skeletal muscle. It is very thin, and is located at the base of the chest just above the abdomen. It plays a very important role during respiration or breathing by forcing the intake and expulsion of air from the lungs.

During inhalation, this muscle contracts, and flattens- in the process, a vacuum is created, effectively pulling air into the space. In exhalation the muscle relaxes, and is no longer flattened, this reduces the volume of the region, forcing air out of the lungs. These contractions occur rhythmically and continuously.

lana [24]

Answer:The net force is the sum of all the forces acted upon an object. The direction of force depends on which side you are taking as a positive and negative force. If the force of 22 newtons is positive and the force of 13 newtons is negative, they are actng on the object on different directions, thus in order to get the net force, we just sum them up.

newtons
