Answer:

When the diaphragm relaxes, you are in exhale. The diaphragm is not relaxed when it is inhaling.

When you press on the diaphragm, you are also caused to exhale.

I hope this helps :)

Answer:

Exhale

Step-by-step explanation:

The diaphragm is located between the upper abdomen and the chest. It is the muscle responsible for helping you breathe. As you inhale, your diaphragm contracts so your lungs can expand to let in oxygen, as you exhale, your diaphragm relaxes to let out carbon dioxide.
