It is attached to the base of the sternum, the lower parts of the rib cage, and the spine. As the diaphragm contracts, it increases the length and diameter of the chest cavity, by contracting and descending, and consequently expands the lungs (Lechtzin, 2014). This procedure results the abdominal walls to bulge outward as the organs are pushed down in the abdominal cavity. This is possibly why your teacher tells you to use your lower abdomen.<\/p>\n<p>The extent and effectiveness of the movements of the diaphragm is heavily influenced by one\u2019s posture. Poor postures will disable the free expansion of the abdominal walls, with a consequence of a reduction in vital capacity.
