How do our lungs breathe in air?
Our lungs breathe in air through a process called inhalation. When we inhale, the muscles around our lungs, especially the diaphragm, contract and expand the chest cavity. This expansion creates a vacuum, causing air to flow in through our nose or mouth, down the trachea, and into our lungs to fill the space.
