Inhalation requires the contraction of the diaphragm, which takes ATP. Exhalation is simply the passive relaxation of that muscle, in which the atmospheric pressure causes the lung to deflate, taking no ATP.

What is the name of the rib muscles that contribute to breathing?
Ribs are bones, but lungs contribute to breathing and they are a muscle organNo, your Lungs ARE NOT A MUSCLE. Your diaphragm is the main muscle in inhalation, which opens your lungs (works by creating a negative pressure in your lungs i.e. the pressure outside your chest cavity is more than the pressure in your lungs, causing air to enter your lungs).However, during forced inhalation and exhalation your intercostal muscles and rectus abdominus muslces play a part in exhalation (forcing air out). scalenes lift up your rib cage to allow maximum inhalation.

When the heart rate varies with respirations this is called?
