You can picture it like the esophagus is a rope pulling the stomach up during a swallow, then letting go and letting it slide back down.

When you breathe does your ribcage move up and down?
Yes, when you breathe, your ribcage expands (moves up and out) as your lungs fill with air, and contracts (moves down and in) as you exhale. This movement helps create the necessary space within the chest cavity for the lungs to expand and contract efficiently during the breathing process.
