Message:


in the science textbook, it says we breath with our lung. and if we do breath 
with lung, our upper chest grow larger. but my question is most of the time 
like resting, I breath with my belly.and I noticed that my upper chest and lung 
doesn't get bigger. only my belly gets bigger and smaller as i breath in and 
out. how come?
