Directions: Read carefully the statement. Write T if the statement is True and F if it is False. Write your answer on the space provided before each number. 1. When you exhale, your diaphragm muscle moves up and the ribs move inward. 2. During inhalation, your ribs also move outward increasing the size of the chest cavity. 3. When you breathe in, or inhale, your ribs contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. 4. The lungs and respiratory system allow oxygen in the air to be taken into the body while also letting the body get rid of carbon dioxide in the air breathed out. 5. Upon exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes and returns to its domelike shape, and air is forced in to the lungs.
