The lungs resemble two sacks that are hanging loose that means that they can't breathe in the air all by themselves. The movement of the diaphragm moves the air in and out of your body.

The diaphragm is a comparatively big muscle that separated the rib cage from all of the organs in the abdominal cavity. The diaphragm works like a pair of bellows. As the diaphragm moves downward from the base of the rib cage, the air is drawn through the nostrils, the trachea, and the bronchus into the many little sacks that are linked to the lungs. As the air is drawn through the lungs, those sacks are filled and begin to expand, and thus expanding the rib cage and lifting the abdominal surface. A more conscious and controllable diaphragm movement draws the air deeper into the lungs letting the alveoli to extract oxygen from the air and passing on to the blood stream. The alveoli exchange wastes gases like carbon dioxide, passing them back into the lungs where they are to be exhaled from the body. Then the diaphragm contracts upward with the help with the muscles between the ribs, that pinches the rib cage closed when the diaphragm moves upward, the waste gases are pushed this way out of the lungs.
