Choose what happens during inhalation, A. Lung volume increases as the rib muscle and diaphragm relax B. Rib cage move out and up, the diaphragm flattens and moves downward C. Air pressure inside the lungs increases and up above the air outside the body D. Air forces up from the breathing tube and rushes out through nostrils and mouth
