Lungs, voice box, diaphragm, and the muscles surrounding the lungs.   (From Britannica online:) The lungs maintain equilibrium of atmospheric air pressure. Breath can be both voluntary and involuntary.   The Diaphragm: A dome shaped muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. It helps the lungs expand and contract.   Abdominal muscles help with exhalation and support—the transverse abdomenis and the obliques.   The Intercostal muscles surround the rib cage inside and outside: external, internal and innermost.   The lower back muscles: quadratus lumborum and the psoas major help with exhalation and allow the rib cage to drop lower.
