do all the air you inhale go directly to your diaphgram or some of it go to your lungs? what if it doesn't,how do you get exchange of gasses inside your lungs/ alveoli? i'm just curious.

Excuse me but dipaphram is a muscle that sperates ur chest cavity from ur abdominal cavity. Air does not and cannot go into it at all. It only helps u inhail and exhail, Air goes in ur lungs and only lungs where respiration occurs,
meaning consumption of oxygen this is done by diffusion of CO2 and O2 at the alveoli stage when the wall of the alveoli and thin enough for diffusion and is outlined by thin blood capilaries that take the O2. the air that came from with in the body has more CO2 and the air from out side u inhailed has more O2.
this is where diffusion happens ands they equal each other out.
so theres some O2 in the boold capilaries wich r then taken too the rest of the body.

Yep as the others point out the diaphram is a muscle and air does go directly to you loungs. The diaphram expands and contracts to enable the lungs to expand and shrink which is actually you breathing

you dont breathe into your diaphram.....you diaphram is a muscle that expands and contracts which pulls air into your lungs. the diaphram is located just below your lungs and above your abdomen. simply put when you breathe the air follows a system of "pipes" so to speak and those go to your lungs.

no air goes in your diaphgram the air only goes in your blood and lungs/alveoli.

i'm unable to have self assurance you try to reduce the quantity you breath. the basic-headed dizzy spells are led to out of your body not taking in sufficient oxygen, not the undesirable air. and there is no opposite direction of having air for your lungs. the really actual way is by respiration. in the journey that your so scared about the air bypass. it truly is the really thanks to get faraway from undesirable air... Wow. is all i can say...

Diaphragm is the muscle that supports the lungs, not what the air goes into.

Your diaphram is what pulls your air into your lungs and pushes it back out. What did you think your lungs were for?

air gets to the lungs from breathing air through the mouth. esophagus, throat, diaphragm. lungs.
