The contraction and expansion of the diaphragm during ventilation creates a change in what?

Answer
A
air volume
B
air quality
C
air pressure

Explanation

When the diaphragm contracts, the chest cavity expands and air pressure inside the lungs decreases, drawing air in. When it relaxes, the cavity gets smaller and the pressure increases, pushing air out. So the diaphragm’s movement creates a change in air pressure.
