    Extra air that is used for extreme emergencies of the body is stored in the diaphram under the lungs under normal conditions. When the wind is knocked out of you, this air is used which leaves the diaphram empty temporarily.

    • The diaphragm is a muscle that helps move the lungs, it has nothing to do with "storing air"
