what happens when you pull the diaphragm
This is how are lungs operate. Inside our bodies, at the base of our lungs there is a membrane called the diaphragm. When you inhale, your diaphragm contracts and flattens out, increasing the volume and decreasing the pressure in your chest. Because you have more room air gets sucked in through your mouth and nose and into your lungs, just like it did in the balloon, and then your lungs fill with air.
