Which statement best describes the process of inhalation?
When the diaphragm fills with air, it moves down and out leaving an expanded rib cage for singing.
Air travels through the esophagus to your lungs, the rib cage expands and displaces the diaphragm.
Air travels through the trachea to your diaphragm, which results in a lifted rib cage.
The diaphragm contracts and moves down while the intercostals pull the rib cage up and out; enabling the lungs to expand.
Which statement best describes the process of exhalation?
The diaphragm and intercostals push air out from the lungs, increasing the space in your abdominal cavity that supports your voice.
The diaphragm and intercostals relax, decreasing the amount of space in the thoracic cavity; you can maintain the space by engaging the obliques and rectus abdominis muscles, pacing the breath to support your voice.
Your abs (obliques and rectus abdominis muscles) push up on the diaphragm to force air out of the lungs and through the vocal folds to make sound.
The intercostals pull the diaphragm up and out, forcing air to move out of the lungs, into the trachea and across the vocal fold.
What is the name of the tube that carries food to your stomach?
