The process of respiration and phonation occur automatically, however singing requires thought and control for these processes. Likewise, the diaphragm contracts during inhalation and is passive during exhalation, meaning it doesn't affect the pressure or airflow when you exhale. Muscle names are categorizes by geometric names, general form, locations in the body, descriptive terms, number of heads, attachments, and function. Think of these things when trying to remember the name of a muscle.
Application: This chapter really reminded me of how complex the body is, the simple act of breathing alone requires so many processes we don't even think about! So how I want to apply this, is by appreciating my body and not pushing anything if I am not feeling it a particular day. There is no need to force my body to do things when its exhausted because it is already working in so many other ways I don't even realize!
