When we breath in our chest expands to some extent but I don’t understand how it that possible. Bones can’t expand or anything, so how are we able to “expand them”, make them “longer”?

Open your hand and then make a fist. Now imagine there’s a squishy balloon in your hand. Relax, squeeze. Your lungs work pretty much the same.
