What is happening internally when you choose to breath from the stomach vs the chest? Why are we able to make our stomach grow when breathing in when our lungs are in the chest?

The primary muscle responsible for breathing is the diaphragm. It’s underneath the lungs, and is domed upwards when relaxed and flattened down when contracted. This expands the thoracic cavity, inflating the lungs, but compresses the abdominal cavity, squeezing the intestines which bulge outwards.
