Answer 1

Respiratory system

Diaphragm

The principal glands of the respiratory system are lungs, which transport out the interchange of gases as we exhale. Red blood cells accumulate the oxygen from the lungs and transport it to the portions of the body wherever it is required.

The diaphragm is a tiny skeletal tissue that lies at the base of the chest and divides the stomach from the thorax. It compresses and crushes when you inhale. This generates a vacuum impact that stretches air into the lungs. When you breathe, the diaphragm decreases and the oxygen is forced out of lungs.
