    expanding the rib cage and further increasing this volume. This increase of volume lowers the air pressure in the alveoli to below atmospheric pressure. Due to air always flowing from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure‚ it rushes in through the respiratory tract and into the alveoli. This is called negative pressure breathing‚ changing the pressure inside the lungs relative to the pressure of the outside atmosphere. In contrast to inspiration‚ during expiration the diaphragm and the
