I know that the diaphragm expands causing the air to leave the lungs. But what happens when the diaphragm contracts? How does this draw air in to the lungs?

When the diaphragm contracts, it creates a negative pressure difference. Physics wanting things to balance out, fills the vacuum created with air.
