Answer:

The mechanics of breathing follow Boyle’s Law which states that pressure and volume have an inverse relationship.

Explain:

The process of inhalation occurs due to an increase in the lung volume (diaphragm contraction and chest wall expansion) which results in a decrease in lung pressure in comparison to the atmosphere; thus, air rushes in the airway.
