3 The diagram shows a model of part of the human respiratory system.

a In the model, the rubber that stretches represents the diaphragm.


Suggest which parts of the model represent each of these parts of the body:

glass tube
the trachea _______________

bell jar
the rib cage _______________ [1]
b Predict what happens when the rubber is stretched downwards. [1]

the intercoastal muscle contracts, the volume increases and the pressure decreases
_______________________________________________________________________________
c The diaphragm is not the only muscle that helps to make air move into the lungs.
Name the other muscles that help this to happen. [1]

intercoastal muscle
