The breathing process is controlled by select all that apply the diaphragm, the pharynx, blood vessels, rib muscles
The breathing process is controlled by select all that apply:
1. The diaphragm: This is the primary muscle responsible for breathing. It contracts and flattens, causing the lungs to expand and allow air to enter.
2. Rib muscles: These muscles, including the intercostal muscles, contract and relax to help expand and contract the ribcage during breathing, facilitating the movement of air in and out of the lungs.
Blood vessels and the pharynx do not directly control the breathing process.
