where does the air go when you breathe through your belly?

Question

When you take a deep breath, your shoulders go up because your lungs expand. When you breathe through your belly, your belly expands but lungs not much. What are you expanding? Does the air go into your stomach?

Answer 1

You have a muscle there that can expand the lungs by pulling their bottom “edge” down. When you breathe “normally”, you expand your lungs using muscles in/on your ribcage or chest.
