<p>Nnjm3: </p> <hr /> <div>Inhalation is the movement of air into the [[Lungs|lungs]]. Inhalation is paired with exhalation, the movement of air out of the lungs; together they are ventilation.&amp;nbsp; <br /> <br /> During inhalation the diaphragm contracts thus moving down and the external intercostal [[Muscle|muscles]] contract moving the rib cage up and outwards. <br /> <br /> This increase the volume of the thoracic cavity therefore decreasing the pressure inside the lungs. this causes air to rush into the lungs&lt;ref&gt;William J.
