diaphragm goes down, ribs go up, volume increases, and pressure decreases during:
inspiration (contraction)
diaphragm goes up, ribs go down, volume decreases, and pressure increases during:
expiration (relaxation)
tidal volume
volume inspired or expired per breath
inspiratory reserve volume
maximum inspiration at end of tidal inspiration
expiratory reserve volume
maximum expiration at the end of of tidal expiration
