Diaphragm Movement

Quick fact

The diaphragm moves about 1–2 cm during quiet breathing and up to 10 cm during deep breathing. It is the most efficient muscle in the human body, working continuously without fatigue for a lifetime.

Why this is interesting

Every breath you take begins with a dome-shaped muscle you rarely think about—the diaphragm. Did you know that when this muscle contracts, it doesn't push air in but instead creates a vacuum that pulls air into your lungs?
